Jensen describing their friendship

 
They couldn’t even look at each other directly at the end there because they got
emotional over the whole thing. And I love how Jensen tries to bring them back
by being playful again. He is very good at that 🙂
I just feel really lucky to witness their friendship as much as we get to do.
[Jared Version

This is just to illustrate how deeply moved Jensen was that the hotline could help people, maybe even save someone who was thinking of hurting themselves. If you read Jared’s chapter in the new book from Fangasm, Family Don’t End With Blood, you know that he was in a very dark place two years ago right around JIBCon and needed help. This is a big deal for Jensen because he wants to make things better for other’s who felt the same way. And the rest of the cast really tried to comfort Jensen this weekend when all of this hit him and he had to (as he put it) “take a knee”. That’s a beautiful thing. (JIB8)

Jared knew how hard the day had been on Jensen. Jensen talked about going to find Jared earlier during autos when he got emotional and Jared giving him a pep talk and hugging him. This panel was kind of a continuation of that. So even though it had only been going on for about half an hour, Jared decided to rescue Jensen by having the whole cast come out and give him a group hug. 💙

When Jensen took the stage at the concert. Jason Manns had the mic stand up high which reminded Jensen of Jared so he immediately pointed to Jared in the audience. (X)

Jensen looks so happy Jared is up there. Jared’s all content to hang out in the back but Jensen shows him where to stand and kind of gives him a little nudge forward. (X)
