[What she even wants from him. She hasn't changed his mind. She hasn't even proven that she grasps the situation at all--it keeps coming back to something so unrelated that he wonders why he's even trying. It's clear she's written her own narrative, and anything he says to her will bounce right off because it doesn't fit neatly into her self-centered misconceptions.
Jack is old, and tired. He put too much of himself into Overwatch and now there's very little left--certainly not enough to be at all affected by her words and not enough to continue going around in circles when she'd rather put her fingers in her ears. She needs someone to blame for her own insecurities (though he's not sure why she has them in the first place--she's a thirty-three year old adult with a career; she'd made her own way even before Overwatch fell). Fine.
Maybe one day she'll learn. He just wishes it didn't have to be the hard way.]

I think maybe you should go.
