There's an unkind little urge in Shrieky's stomach, which hovers somewhere between jealousy, vindictiveness and guilt. Jae just named a lot of things that sounded extremely nice and that it was very normal and understandable for him to miss. It just so happened that there was literally no reason why Jae should have been allowed to have those things in the first place!

...Unless you counted the fact that he was clearly an extremely good person who was entitled to be happy, and that was where the guilt came in.

"I'm sorry." Thankfully, the feeling that carries through to Shrieky's voice is regret, "That sounds like... a great deal of things to lose, in exchange for something which I'm sure is less valuable."
