[Speaks more freely with Jason - someone with a rough background like him - than he probably would with his friends.]
[His friends wouldn't understand. They'd empathize and try to help, but not understand. They all grew up with nice parents. Maybe Blight would get it, but probably only her. (Her mother was a real piece of work.)]
[(It was a rough childhood, right? Just because he lived in a castle and had a measure of prestige, doesn't mean it was okay.)]
[It's not really particularly revealing or anything, but it's honest and that means he's slightly more exposed.]
I think - I think that kind of...thing can make someone not care about other people. Like they learn it's okay to hurt people. Or the right thing to do gets confusing. Still being able to want to help is one way you can tell you're not too far gone.
At least...until you can figure it all out.
[There are good things inside you that can shut off.]
So it's definitely good you can still go "hey, nobody should have to deal with that."
