I'm sorry, Kesara. [She hesitates again, much more briefly this time.] I'm sure it hurt.
[Thankfully, Kesara is not focused enough to catch on the pauses with her normal sharpness. She's just glad that Tifa isn't telling her that hating Jack is wrong. It's not mature. It isn't Christian. But it's like fighting fire with fire, pain with pain.]
Anyway he's dead now, though I didn't see it. And Zach might come back. Jack might come back too... but he'd better hope he doesn't.

Zach died. But Terezi got Jack in the head. I heard it was very heroic. I hope he hurt.
