Jesse's been on the edge of tears since she arrived, but being in her arms again breaks his tenuous control over his emotions and everything surges forward all at once.
He's been hurt. Badly. Maybe irreparably, despite the fine work Ashraf did on the surface damage. With just the handful of people he's encountered so far, he's already noticed the changes in himself. He isn't feeling things right. There's a fear that he can't shake even when he knows he's safe. And everything is darker now, shaded with the whole truth of his fate and Saul's betrayal and what he himself did to Skyler and her family. He ruined so much, playing right into Walter White's hands. And he can't even punish himself for it because someone else has punished him so horrifically that remorse seems like a pale and useless thing. Right and wrong mean nothing in the face of all that suffering. His foundations are cracked and he's going to collapse.
He curls up against Lisbeth, burying his face in the crook of her neck as he lets out a muffled wail.]
