You may want to keep an eye on if Jacob comes around Basch too much. The pattern that's being set up here, if it's the one that happened to me...he's going to get in there, use him emotionally, then drop him when BASCH is the one who needs support.
He's mentioned wanting to be around someone who "gets it" lately because the rest of us never will. So...just...be careful. I don't know the right way to warn him.
