Every time Jet called himself a monster, I was reminded of a little clip of dialogue from a while ago, in a much different place and context:
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of the production script for Juno Steel and the Monster's Reflection, which reads:
SARAH: And now you're finally ready to get rid of me. So he's an exorcist, too.
JUNO: No. I'm not getting rid of you. I've tried that already and it doesn't work. You are always going to be a part of me. I am always going to do bad things and feel you in them. But you weren't a monster, Mom. You were just a person. A person who let her own hurt pour out and hurt other people, yeah. But...
SARAH: ...But what?
JUNO: No, not "but." And. You hurt people and you cared about them. And you scared people and you made things nobody else could make. And you were brave, Ma, brave enough to push yourself as hard as you could, and you weren't smart enough or patient enough or something enough to see that you never should've pushed yourself that far in the first place. And I don't have to be scared every time I feel you in my anymore.
SARAH: Little monster's all grown up, isn't he?
END ID]
...and I wonder if any of these words, or the ideas behind them, might be something that Juno will share with Jet. Jet's not a monster, not even the parts of him he sees as the worst of him, and maybe he'll find a way to reconcile with that when all of this is done.
