"Because I'm mad at you!" he points out, throwing up his hands. "You lied to me for god knows how long! I think I can be a little angry right now!"
He's not doing this to hurt Cougar. Watching how unhappy he looks doesn't make him feel good. But it's important that Cougar realize just how upset Jake is by all this deception, how hurt he feels that he never knew that his main confidant had been sleeping across the room from him for years.
"I didn't know it was you! Cougar..." He sighs, pulling his glasses off his face so he can rub his palms over it all the more effectively. "I know English is hard for you. I know. And if it's easier for you to write... You could have still written to me, even if I was in the room with you. I don't want you to become me, talking a mile a minute. I know I'm annoying, I talk too much, words just fall out of my mouth without thought. You don't need to be me. But you like me? You want to make me happy? I need to know how you're feeling. Talk to me. Write me notes. Whatever works. But I need to know."
