Can't believe I'm going to be a hero. That's a long way from a gangster.

[ Jesper's come an enormously long way from where he started. He would have never thought of himself as settling down and planning to create a commune. It was Inej's idea but it'll be him who fulfills it, and he can think of no other way to respect the legacy she and his own father would put on his shoulders if they could. It makes it easier to let go of going back, knowing he's doing what they would want.

And knowing it's what he wants, to be here with the great loves of his life, and a future worth holding onto. Jesper turns toward Claude and smiles, putting his hands up over his chest and hooking around his neck, smiling down at him. ]

You know I've been extremely mature about everyone who is leaving even though I wanted to just about die every time. [ Goodbyes suck. But Jesper believes in people making their own choices. ] But I would've locked the three of you up somewhere until it was over. I'm not entirely selfless.

[ Sylvain, Claude, and Hilda are an entire other story, and he can't be mature all the time! ]
