[Jaeger takes a deep breath and starts. His voice remains just as cheerful as before, but it's obvious that it's forced the longer he goes on.]
One of those strange memories I received involved waking up in an unfamiliar room with an unfamiliar man and an unfamiliar bit of metal strapped to my chest. Now normally all of that would be weird enough on its own, but the whole situation was quite traumatic! You see, I shouldn't have been waking up at all, because I was supposed to be dead. It felt wrong to wake up again, you see.
[He's glad she can't see him because even though his voice is steady, his hands are shaking.]
And that strange piece of metal? It turns out that bizarre thing was my... replacement heart!
[That brief pause there was definitely just for effect and not because it's kind of terrifying to think about.]
...Anyway, I think that counts as sharing a difficult memory, ja?
[does it really count if you do it like an asshole]
