[Gently...gently... Jade touches his shoulder again and leans down so she can make eye contact with him.]

I know. I think he is scared, too. But you do not have to be scared, I am here with you and whatever happens I will always be with you. And Karkat...I think if you just tell him how you are feeling, he'll understand. Even if he's not very good at looking at things from another person's eyes, he can recognize feelings. I know he can. He's thoughtful in his own way.

Tavros, I think Peter Pan would want you to talk to Karkat as well. Reach deep down into your heart and find strength in your pain. Please.
