...funny. Kyoko said similar to me when I was trying to figure out my whole life if I ever got it back. [ and it's still something he's trying to figure out, but maybe d is right. looking so heavily at the past maybe has been a thing weighing him down for a long time. it's been the thing that's shaped him as a person, the thing he's held onto. those events of the past were a large part of who jonas was, but they don't always have to be who jonas is, maybe.

the thing about it is, this feels like a trick question. it's his natural distrust of people flaring up almost immediately, but simultaneously, if he thinks about it, d has been...pretty upfront with him. straightforward. not much to hide. d has always asked intelligent questions and gotten a read on jonas most people didn't immediately and maybe it's the fact they're all leaving tomorrow anyway.

so yeah. it's tentative, the way he approaches, but he does settle for a hug. weirdest development here, and yet. ]


I don't know if this is helping you at all. But I kind of hope maybe it does. [ the gesture, he means. ] But I've never found a reason not to consider your advice before, so...I think I can trust that.
