Ok hear me out. What if the reason Jasper was so keen on keeping Barfield in danger games was because he saw a part of himself in him? Like yk what if when he found Barfield in a bush he thought he was abandoned, neglected, alone, unsafe, so he decided he would keep him because he knows what it's like to be neglected. Maybe the reason he didn't want his parents to claim him was because he thought Barfield would be unsafe with them yk? Ok delusional maybe 😭🙏, but this is just a head cannon.
