Clark also knows that hurt happens in absence as much as in presence. He knows that Jason, the one from Bruce's world, was angry but still loved, still cared.
"There is nothing cold about you, Bruce," he says with some authority, "bitter..." yeah, he won't fight that one, but-- "maybe. But that's not all that's there."
He kisses the other of Bruce's hands and gives both of them a squeeze. Then, with a deep sigh, he addresses the issue of Jason.
"I know you would never knowingly hurt any of your kids, Bruce. Through action or inaction. And I know that whatever happened with the Jason of your world... there's still light in there. There's still love."
He points to the phone.
"He's troubled, and there's a lot of bile in there, but he still cares."
