jesper will never ever admit that the little family of 2 he and his father have formed is.......lacking in any way, bc he’s defensive of his upbringing, and of his father. but uh. it’s telling, just how much he clings to the dregs — to the crows. jesper is not someone anyone would look at and think “he’s lonely” but, he is. the kind of isolation that comes from hiding yourself away “for safety” and because “other people won’t understand you, so you’ll be in danger” is hard to scrub away, and he is happiest in a crowd & happiest when he doesn’t have to make himself small and unnoticeable BECAUSE he is afraid of loneliness. 

and whether he realises it or not, jesper does have a tendency to gravitate towards other people who are isolated feeling / cut off in a way, even if they act like they’re happier alone ( kaz & wylan being good examples of this!! ) and whether it’s intentional or not, he does have a habit of befriending and charming the lonely himself, if only to make them. less lonely
