jester’s privilege

thinking about how when jane tells lisbon that he loves her on the plane and she responds with “it’s too late” he doesn’t try to argue or convince her to be with him, because his love for her is the most unselfish part of him. jane needs to tell lisbon that he loves her if she never reciprocates, if she never wants to see him again, if she moves away and marries someone else, because the important part is actually telling the truth that he’s kept buried for so many years. saying what he truly feels is more important than using any kind of manipulation or convincing, and he holds her happiness and well being above any reward or happiness for himself. loving lisbon and being honest about it is its own reward, but that she loves him in return is his greatest joy
