"I'm happy I could help you," said Jon, and he meant it sincerely. "And I understand. A lot more than you know. I was with a girl for a long time. Rei. And she disappeared not long before the thing with the Purifiers... which I guess is a good thing, as far as times to disappear go. But I've been missing her ever since, and it was only yesterday when I realized that I was starting to get over her. I felt a little guilty on the island, but mostly because I didn't feel as guilty as I thought I should. If that makes sense."
Jon looked up at her, seeing the girl rather than the guilt. "And I'm sorry about the whole thing. Taking advantage, I guess. I'd like to be friends. I mean... I'm really not the type of person who just has sex with any girl. I'm not. My dad raised me... mostly right. Until that day, I hadn't even really felt much for anyone. You're the first girl I've been attracted to since--" He cut himself off, feeling like he'd revealed too much. "So, um... ice cream is nice."
