I know. Kinda weird since sometimes I'm not even sure how much Jason likes me. [You can care very deeply for a person and their well-being and still dislike them, and while he doesn't think that's the case with Jason...he's well-aware he's been pretty problematic and a sort of crappy friend for the last year.

There's also the implication that Jason likes Clarke a lot, and he's fully aware of that.] I still can't believe you got him to say yes. [There's a slightly hopeful expression then.] Maybe...if he sees nothing's actually going to happen he'll let me come by your office soon. Gotta say I'm kinda impressed you're managing that and school, too. ["Plus the whole war thing."]
