[It sounds to him like she's bludgeoning herself with those words, and it's a painful thing to hear. Back when Adam had mocked him with his own conflicted emotions, he wasn't aware of just how hard it was for 2B. Over time he had come to understand it, as he often did through one lifetime or another, but he knows that when she was alive he was still struggling to reconcile his emotions.
His lips press into a thin line as he considers the words, and how he should answer them. Had he the choice, he would have preferred that they never discuss this matter at all. It's evident to him that it's only causing 2B pain. But his own mistake led to this, and waiting for Jude to ask her what he meant as he anticipates would only be worse.
