The answer to that question is very simple. Shinjirou glances at Jade, hands folded in his lap. He remembers that Jade didn't want him to pick at the scabs and he'd rather continue being adequate than losing it altogether. Still, he chews on his lips, but that won't stain the sheets.

"You're going to be angry." Though Shinjirou wonders if that's not exactly what he wants. Someone else being angry with him is easier to deal with than his own anger. Can he risk Jade taking his safety line from him? "... I'll show you, if I have to."
