Sometimes it's just easier for things to come out around someone you don't know, someone who you don't already have a wall put up in front of. That, and Jack just brings this out in people. His hand stays out, close, but doesn't make contact, and his voice drops, tone soothing. "I can promise you're human. I've seen enough people, aliens, humans and inhumans, that I can absolutely promise you that much. This, right here? This doubt, this worry? That's human. Nothing in the universe more human than this."

"If you weren't human, you wouldn't care. You wouldn't think to worry about what you've done. This? It's a part of love. Maybe not for one specific person, not that romanticized love, but the concern for others? The fear of hurting people? You're feeling that."

"If you don't remember, then you don't remember. You don't need to remember something horrible in order to choose to do good now." And, which one of them is he talking to when Jack says that? He tries to shove that thought aside.
