"Then... maybe it will just be a weight we share." Because he can't let go of that guilt, he doesn't know how to, but isn't that what Jesper was saying before? Let us take care of you, too. Maybe this counts for that.
The silence is... strange, and a little unlike Jesper, but it's the consideration of everything those words mean.
"I don't know that I know it, so much as... I expect it? It's an assumption, it's...so easily taken for granted. But it's not really certain, is it?" He glances back over at him. "I mean– everyone has limits and you're all well in rights to get sick of it." To get sick of me, he means, but he can't be that pathetic out loud. But it's something he's worried about often, especially with Jesper and Inej. Losing them to his own inability to be better than he is.
