[ Jack doesn't see how someone who's blind, even if she's been blind since childhood, could carry themselves the way that the OA does. She's definitely perceiving the world around her in some way. Is it possible that whatever power this place gave her helped to restore her sight to some extent? It occurs to Jack that he could just ask since she seems open to answering all of his questions (and then some), but the subject of conversation moves steadily on.
To anger, to pain, and to the act of sharing that with others. Two people could endure more than just one. It isn't even that OA is wrong, but that doesn't mean Jack wants to listen to reason.
If he'd wanted help, he would have sought it out a long time ago. Even with Ana, she'd been the one to find him. She's the one person who could truly share his burdens with him, to take some of that crushing weight onto her shoulders. But she's been gone for a while now, since El Nysa, and Jack has no idea what happened to her. If she's alive. If she got back home, even though their world was apparently gone.
Nobody survives anything alone.
His pace picks up as the conversation turns and his back straightens, small signs of discomfort that he doesn't hide in his response. ]
Not interested.
[ In opening up, in letting people help, in any of that. Not with anyone here. Even Gabriel comes packaged with too many complications for Jack to be entirely honest or open with him. ]
