[At first, Rachel is quiet, when he restarts the song, and it doesn't appear like she wants to sing along -- but then, right on cue, she quietly joins in, precisely where she first joined in, when they first met. It's the same sense of nervousness and shyness, even though they aren't performing in the middle of a crowded library -- but just as before, the more she sings, the more confident she becomes.
Soon, Rachel is singing with gusto, and it feels just as it did before -- fun, exciting, thrilling, impossibly perfect, and dangerous. Except in Adstringendum, there was no Finn Hudson to remind her of the dangers. No Finn to tell her "Don't you think it's a little strange, we make it to Regionals and suddenly the lead in our competition picks you up?"
No Finn to lead her on and break her heart.
Not that Jesse isn't perfectly capable of doing the same, of course, but somehow, the song helps soothe the hurt that the last couple of months at McKinley have wrecked upon her heart.
