"I see. They seem like they were very kind and cared for you a lot." Jack said. He could tell by the way she acted that her parents had actually been good people, at least enough for her to miss them. He felt bad for her, being separated from parents that she actually cared about, and for them because it must have been very hard for them to watch their child grow up in a place like that.<br/><br/>"I wish my parents had been like yours." He said, "I never met my mother, and my father was nothing but cruel to me. He didn't care for me at all, and he ran many tests on me while treating me no better than a lab rat. Once I got out, he came to find me a few times. He even shot me, once." Jack felt the need to tell her this because she had told him about her parents and looked confused at his surprise at her parents' kindness to her, so he felt as if he owed her an explanation.
