Following the events of episode 6, it was expected that Jax would be more distant with Pomni. His mental health is dwindling, yet despite that he seemed softer towards Pomni. Meanwhile Pomni isn’t pushing him in any way, she’s gentle when speaking to him and generally just trying to let him know that she’s there for him.

Pomni definitely still cares about him. She doesn’t want him to be left alone. Jax didn’t bite or ignore her outright, instead he agreed neutrally.

This here is my favorite funnybunny scene of episode 7. Jax felt uneasy about being thrown up first, and of course Pomni notices and reassures him. Look at how he flinched at the soft sound of his name. 🥹

He’s taking in the puppy eyes lol. The reassurance coming from Pomni was probably grounding.

1 2 3 folded. Whatever you say, Pompom.

Nobody noticed Jax feeling unwell at this point, and if they did they didn’t care much to ask. Except Pomni. Pomni and her puppy eyes again.

Another neutral reply from Jax. I don’t think Jax knew Pomni is even there lol, he was totally in his head.

The amazing thing about Pomni is that she doesn’t tell Jax she still cares about him…she just shows it. By extending a hand to him, by including him, by making sure he’s okay. She doesn’t even know she saved him from abstraction by interrupting and finding him in the dark.

Jax doesn’t feel well. He isn’t well at all. But he’s not stupid, he knows what Pomni is doing by offering him her hand. In a way it’s symbolic, she’s reaching out literally and figuratively.

He doesn’t have to accept this kindness or respond to it. But it’s there anyways. Being present for someone suffering with depression is all you can do, and she’s doing just that whether she knows he’s ill or not.
