[He'll stop, then, reaching out to run his free hand through Jaeger's hair; he's aware that he may have crossed some sort of line, but...]

Whatever you hear, if there's anything else, will probably make it sound much worse than it is. I was told a good amount about how I tortured Jill and Excella for nothing, and about how I was apparently just willing to let everyone here be used in the same way the old man used me. How I need to save all of you and make it up to them.

You may hear more while we're still here, and I have no doubt this is upsetting you, but whatever's being said likely isn't an accurate reflection.

[His words are calm as ever; it helps that he's gone through this before. He isn't pushing for Jaeger to tell him for now, just...trying to calm him down.]
