"I used to know." Jess never survived anything close to what Eggsy has, was never so sick as this--the worst they ever went through together was her morning sickness and then labor and recovery. As difficult as those were they weren't cause for fear or anger or depression.
"It makes it worse when they're gone. You remember someone needing you. Then you remember why they're dead. I saw those people in hell." Jess's pregnancy and Sprog's birth had certainly not been cause for self-loathing at the time. They are now. And how to explain the guilt he feels at 'moving on' even just while he and Eggsy are here together?
But what Rey is saying seems easy to do; he can do that. If he can't, he can still leave. (But he won't leave, because when Max decides--finally--to do something, he does it.)
"You think they'll ever end up thinking like we do? Tommy, Eggsy? Thinking the best way to help is not to be there at all."
