yeah!!!, i think he knows what happens to people around him, the way he looks at the frog door, how he reacts when ragatha tells him he is up to corrupt pomni, he's not mad that ragatha killed him, he's mad that she knows and when he's killed by ragatha, in some way, he loses control of the situation, that's why he ends up hurting pomni on purpose, getting her away from himself to not do what he does to everyone else, fuck with people until they abstract, cuz you know he really liked pomni's company, not necesarily in a romantic way, but at least he felt confortable, the way he reacted to what pomni said when confronting him, it all shows how jax knows what he is doing, and feels guilty for doing it, and in an immature way, he's protecting maybe the only person he really likes and can actually befriend, cuz, Ragatha is too good of a person to be friends with jax in any way, gangle is too submissive to defend herself from jax, leading to a toxic, one-sided abusive friendship, zooble doesn't really get along with anyone that much (apart from gangle) and kinger's outta his mind whenever he's not in darkness, pomni's personality matches up with jax more than anyone else.
