Sal's so young and he had to fight a cult as a normal person. And for what? With the anxious, defeated posture and shaking voice, it's not hard to infer that he failed to save anyone. Jovan hates his family, but at least they're still alive. If everyone he knew was dead, he'd be free, but he'd also be completely alone. No wonder having Gizmo back is such a relief to the poor guy.
His heart aching with sympathy, Jovan lays a hand on Sal's shoulder and gives it a gentle squeeze. "It's okay, you don't have to say it. I'm not trying to bring up trauma that's still fresh. Just remember it's not your fault. Those fuckers are the ones to blame, not you."
