Does he really know more than any other person? Jade doubts it, though he has to wonder. Shinjirou doesn't seem like he's close to anyone, Akihiko aside, and he's obviously keeping secrets from his friend.

But if what Shinjirou is saying is true, then Jade feels mildly sorry for him.

The feeling doesn't last for long; he's more interested in the almost defensive way Shinjirou is carrying himself in.

"What else?" If there's one thing he knows, it's that Shinjirou is far from boring. But he doesn't plan on grilling him any further than this; they are in public, and he's fine with letting Shinjirou keep some secrets (for the moment, at least). Approaching him like this probably won't yield much results anyway.
