* Jade doesn't let it show, but she really misses her family and friends.

* Hiruzen's AngerBornOfWorry when Jade's botched escape attempt almost kills her, and Jade's resulting HeroicBSOD from the same.
* Hishu being absolutely driven to try and rescue Jade from Tobe, only to fail at the last minute due to Nonki's intervention. In fact, acknowledging that failure is Hishu's last thought as the mask seals him.
