It's worth noting that this is the closest thing Jade has had to human contact since she was a toddler.
JADESPRITE: i was just waiting for john to wake up, i was so sure it was going to be soon JADESPRITE: and i was going to show him around prospit JADESPRITE: i had so many things planned and so many friends to introduce him to… JADESPRITE: he was my best friend and i was looking forward to meeting him for so long
Jade might be handling things better than her sprite, but they're still nursing the same pit of loneliness in their hearts - and I'm sure they're both still bitter about how her life on Prospit came to an end.
She died saving John's life, and her reward was to be ripped away from her brother she'd just met, and sent back to an empty island.
They didn't exchange a single word. He didn't even see her.
Plus - for all she knows, that was her one chance to meet him. With Jack on the prowl, there are no guarantees that anyone is going to survive the session. Jade has no idea when she's going to meet any of her friends, she's fully aware that she might be alone forever, and she still just has to soldier on.
JADE: you are going to make me cry too, stop it!!!
This girl’s seeing her own repressed emotions reflected back at her, and she can't ignore them anymore.
JADESPRITE: i dont want to be here, i have to go back JADESPRITE: but i dont know how JADESPRITE: can you help me? JADE: you want me to help you… JADE: die again?
If you go through with that, make sure it’s on your Quest Bed, for science.
Seriously, though - if Jade tries to ascend, will she still be able to merge with Jadesprite? It still seems unlikely. I doubt Jade will be inhabiting Jadesprite's body when she sleeps, as that body is now spoken for - and God Tiering is just another way to inhabit your Dream Self, so it doesn't feel viable either.
Their connection has likely been severed for good, its benefits lost - but if Jade is ever in mortal peril, we should probably give ascension a shot anyway. Juuuuust in case.
JADE: even if it was possible the way you are now JADE: i dont think i could go through with it :(
