わたし「ずっと長い間、馬鹿みたいに母のことだけ追いかけてきたわ…」
ジェイ「随分一途だな」
わたし「哀れだな、の間違いじゃない?」
ジェイの真摯な瞳が運転席からじっとわたしを見据えてくる。
ジェイ「俺はそんな風には思ってない」
わたし「知ってるわ。だからこんなにも大きな声で独り言を漏らしてるの」
ジェイ「相槌は不要ってことか」
わたし「相槌なんてうつ気にもならない話をするってことよ」

I cannot understand why athe author didn't use the passive in 相槌なんてうつ気にもならない話をするってことよ -> 相槌なんてうたれる?
Maybe I'm mistaken something but as far as dialogue go:
ジェイ「So, you mean the back-channeling is not needed?」
わたし「I mean that it is the discussion where I'm not in the mood to hear back-channelings」
As far as I can understand it's ジェイ the one who throws an approperate woeds into a conversation no the speaker?
