[ it being accidentally a lot bit jade's fault really, at least how she sees it. and she's sorry, she is, sorry that her dog got prototyped and (lost forever) doomed them all, that she'd not been able to do a thing about jack noir until it was almost too late, that she'd finally for the first time met one of her friends in person and killed him, that she was completely, utterly powerless to help with the tumor or the green sun or do anything but move forward with the plans for the scratch and try to make sure things work out as well as possible. it was almost a relief when jack noir decided to trail her, keep away from the people he actually can harm, despite how much karkat called it messed up or creepy. it was fine. ]

I still could've said something about it earlier. And you were right, you would've done something about it if you were in the same situation!
