"I'm sorry. I don't know why I laid this on you. I don't know what got into me. You must think of me as an emotional person," Wilted said.
"It's okay to be emotional," Jack said. "As for Joe, he was robbed of those luxuries when the world turned. Yet, he stays with you. I think that means something."
"Yes… I'm grateful to him for that," Wilted said. "What I have against is the pretentious people. He has proven himself to be not one of those people, so he was okay."
"Perhaps it was because he had entered your world, the world of the mundane, that he became the way he is. Perhaps he was, as you said, had a taste, and he liked it. Not that he liked having less. I think what he found to his liking was the company, you, and your partner. I think that's why he stuck with you instead of his sister when the world turned."
Wilted didn't say anything to Jack's words.
