That's what makes a best friend? Giving a shit? Jay gave a shit about a lot of people - too many people, in fact, to the point where it seemed more likely that he didn't have any room to give a damn about himself. Jessica, Alex, the long-dead cast of a long-dead student film - and him?
"I didn't..." He can't tear his gaze from the shadow as it lies there, he can't. He can't but he does because he has to, and he looks at the real Jay without knowing where to goddamn begin.
Brian was a friend. Brian was his best friend by default, as he lacked any other friends to give him the singular title of best, but Jay's as different to Brian as it's possible to be. Stammering, inept, nosy, untrustworthy.
Or maybe he's just the mirror to what Brian ended up becoming.
