I don't know. I kind of want him standing guard or preoccupied with something else. He's already gave her his little pep talk, so now, it really should just be her decision. I think it would make for better (future) drama without him knowing the full weight of this decision. Otherwise, all I can see is a freaked out Jaune trying to grasp the seriousness of the situation, and not exactly giving Pyrrha any real help in her decision making. Now's not exactly the time for emotional see-sawing. But that goes for anyone not in the know -- not just Jaune. Pyrrha doesn't need any distractions. This is her decision and she needs a clear head.

1. As I stated above, if he were off to the side, more explanation would be necessary, thus the only way he would be just off-screen is a re-direct... which the scene also does not indicate.

2. He was following Pyrrha, either she stopped and told him to stop, he was delayed, or he will enter after it is too late
