[Spot doesn't know why Jack isn't meeting his gaze, but he's grateful for it. He doesn't know how to feel about this, and feelings have never been Spot's forte. He's angry, and he wants to hold on to that, it's familiar and biting and it's been his driving force for as long as he can remember - he's angry at whoever did this, whoever dared to jump a borough leader. But it's not just about that, and deep down he knows it, it's not about the fact that they attacked Jack Kelly, leader of Manhattan - it's the fact that they attacked Jack, it's something personal and visceral that makes him angry about this, and he really doesn't want to examine that too closely. It's the worry that he doesn't like
