[ There's a long silence as Jake listens and just processes it all. He didn't need all of his memories to know that he probably wasn't super popular. It's his personality. He's distrusting, cynical, and just a plain ass at times. He's not big on teamwork and there's probably not a lot of people who can put up with his bullshit, so hearing this is... well, it's strange but good in a way. He doesn't really know how to explain it, but he guesses he can say that he feels a little "touched". ]
[ He looks off to the side, still trying to figure out what to say, and after a couple more seconds of silence, he finally mutters out something: ]
... Thank you.
[ It's not just a casual 'thanks', but actually a formal one that he means. It's a 'thank you' for a combination of things: for dealing with his bullshit, for actually being concerned about him, for still sticking around after those puzzle rooms, and for still calling him your friend. Who knows when he'll say something like that again with this kind of genuineness? ]
