In "13 Reasons Why," Clay Jensen and Hannah Baker share a complicated relationship. Clay deeply cares for Hannah and is portrayed as kind and decent. During a party episode, they spend time together, chat, flirt, and eventually kiss in Jessica's room. When things escalate towards intimacy, Hannah suddenly becomes overwhelmed by her past traumas and sees Clay as a representation of those who betrayed her. She then freaks out and asks Clay to leave, which he does without an explanation. On the tapes Hannah left behind, she tells Clay that he did nothing wrong and that he is good and kind, emphasizing that her turning him away was about her own issues, not him. Clay experiences immense guilt and pain believing he could have done more, but the reality is Hannah pushed him away because she feared intimacy due to the trauma she had experienced. Clay imagines a conversation where he apologizes to Hannah and expresses his love, which underscores his regret and sorrow for not being able to support her better while she was alive. Thus, Clay didn't do anything harmful to Hannah; rather, he was a kind-hearted person caught in the sad reality of Hannah's struggles, and she pushed him away out of fear and trauma, not because of anything he did to her.
