OUTRAGED POPPED-KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(my personal thoughts are in parenthesis)

[JP's Habits - 1] In a pretentious way, as if he were being friendly, he starts his sentences with "oya". (I think in the English it's conveyed as "ah yes", or "oh") "Oh, what a strange coincidence." "Oh, that must be difficult for you." But it's said without a lot of emotion, so it doesn't really sound like he's actually surprised to have run into you on the street, or that he's concerned for your well being. This is one of his few habits, a verbal tick he does unconsciously... In fact, he's buying himself a brief moment by pausing with an "ah yes", so that he can tell the most appropriate lie for the situation. Basically everything JP says is a lie, but when he starts off with an "oh", it's even more of a lie.

[JP's Habits - 2] -- is it not? -- don't you think? He asks these questions to another person, precisely at critical moments to take control of the conversation. "Whether you're alive or not, it's the same thing, isn't it?" "Love is a paraphrase of selection and exclusion, isn't that right?" He has no intentions of continuing the conversation, nor does he expect an answer. They aren't questions that are controversial (outrageous), but rather ones that make sense if you take a moment to consider them. It's a technique to sway the other person's thoughts by making them think about the question, if even for a brief moment.
