[He hates every syllable of what he just heard, thank you very much. The implication of Juno being...well and truly broken. He's not wrong, it is a big mean world out there. Peter himself is often a part of that meanness. But--
This talk of drowning, of letting the meanness of the world subsume you. Giving up. No. He knows - a little - that all is not right with Juno. He's self-sacrifical and self-aggrandizing. Too ready to be a martyr, to die and die alone. This is...just as bad. Hopelessness and resignation.
The thing Peter loves most about Juno is his stubbornness. Even when it complicates things. To see that stripped away is awful. Even the implication of it, since he's still sure - still...sure.... - that this isn't really Juno. It does...have a lot of knowledge of Juno's life, though.]

[He reaches out, places a hand on "Juno's" shoulder that is deceptively strong. Gripping at him, just tight enough to hurt a little. There will be no getting away while he solves this mystery, thank you. With the other hand, he fishes out his phone and enters Juno's number. Let's see who picks up on the other end~.]
