"Painful doesn't seem like the right word for it." He hesitates, because so far he's been good about avoiding talking about it, but she saw this memory and so it seems like its as good a time as any. "She broke up with me recently," although technically since he'd been here awhile, Jason adds, "well a little before I wound up here."

So maybe it is a little painful. But he still has such fond memories of her and especially this moment. This is probably what people mean by bittersweet.

He returns his attention to the drawing. He imagines, like with any hobby, that everyone draws for different reasons. He likes Naminé's reason for drawing, though it makes his own feel a bit silly. "I just started drawing because it gave me something to focus on during lessons...but I did start to use it to make plans for the future. I've been drawing buildings and temples more recently than I have living people." Which might explain a bit about why his duck doesn't look quite right.
