Jefferson can’t stand it.

He can’t stand accepting it and he can’t stand the guilt of rejecting you. He loves you, but he doesn’t tolerate you.

It’s different between you and Miles—Miles got his powers much later in life, and he had the decency to try and conceal it. You, however, were born with your much more powerful and complex abilities, and honed them when you were stupidly young.

He keeps trying to apply the same logic to you, but each time, he can’t hook it up.

He wanted a simple, picture-perfect life with his gorgeous, loving wife and two kids, unlike the abusive and hectic childhood he endured. How can that be when his children both have powers? But again, it’s not really about the powers anymore when it comes to you.
