[ Jack actually listens to her seriously, though his expression is fairly serious and slightly intense in a way that's probably fairly intimidating. Yet even so, as he speaks, he shifts his weight on his feet, and he ends up glancing away briefly. ]
Was thinking it the last time we talked, but, yeah. You remind me of someone I know.
[ It's said casually in a way that it could be easily dismissed, if not for the calm in Jack's voice. He's an animated person, but all at once, this topic seems to make him more subdued. Even so, it's hard to pick something up from his expression or tone beyond that, since it seems like he's probably intentionally tempering both. Whoever this person is, they're surely important to him. But, still, he moves on quickly, barely giving Elizabeth any time to question that comment. ]
I get what you're saying here. I get why my point of view pisses you and other people off. But it's probably just the kind of guy I am, but I can't just look at these motives week to week and trust someone to not take them. So I'm not working against you here. I'm working on finding the truth just as much. But I'm also willing to do what it takes on the way to that. I'm not gonna push it again, since, I mean, I'm not gonna push my luck here either. Just think it's an option worth considering. I don't think anything about that rulebook is unintentional, so I doubt Alice included that caveat without a reason for it.
