* MyGirlIsNotASlut: ZigZagged. Jack greatly enjoys Kayla's inventiveness and enthusiasm as regards sex. . . until he learns he wasn't the first guy she slept with. Though even then, that she slept with another guy before she met him is less the issue, it's that she outright stated she was a virgin, lying about having broken her hymen herself in anticipation of TheirFirstTime, that really upsets him.

* NeverMyFault: Downplayed. She gets quite upset with Jack misreading her actions and distrusting her motivatons, but it takes years (and some maturity and soul-searching) to realize his behavior is a direct result of her raping him, and he's got some low-grade PTSD about her that takes a lot of time to heal.

* RealMenLoveJesus: Jack is religious, but not devoutly Church-going. He feels his beliefs are his own, and other people's beliefs are their own business. He's hesitant to talk religion with others, but mostly out of fear of finding out he's talking to someone who takes their beliefs ''way'' too seriously, and takes any difference of opinion on the subject as a personal insult.

And there's something in those depths, watching him.

* TranquilFury: When Jack's BerserkButton has been well pressed, he tends to hit this spot rather than blind fury, as he calmly goes about a straightforward means of addressing what punched the button. He's still not thinking rationally by any means and his chosen course of action may be as stupid as blindly lashing out.
