[ Jesse has to swallow back a rising indignation at that declaration. Reaper will find his own way, will leave again on his own terms and damn whoever else is left to sift through the rubble. He's being impulsive, emotional...
Except Jesse knows he doesn't get to think that way, because he'd been the one to leave before the Fall. Everything that had happened since the day he left Blackwatch is, in part, on his shoulders. Including not standing by Reyes the last time his impulses and emotions had caused him his own personal chaos.
Jesse might mourn something he helped kill, but he doesn't deserve to feel angry about what the dead does after. Especially now, when Reaper is obviously in so much pain himself. He'd never admit it, but Jesse knows. Maybe that's what makes this all the more difficult. ]
You always were impossible to reason with once you had your mind set.
