...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.
[JONAS NEEDS SO MUCH THERAPY NOW, WOW. We need to have a therapy murdergame, or maybe just a THERAPIST in one. (Not an evil therapist, though, like Hannibal.)
He doesn't move until Jonas comes to him and starts the hug, and then he reciprocates. Jonas gets a firm squeeze around the shoulders. Squeeze all that trauma out.]
I think you should allow yourself the space to feel angry, or upset, or sad for as long as you need. [So funny coming from him, of all people. Listen.] There isn't anything wrong with that even if all of this is going to be over.
[I keep thinking about D having to be Christian in the graveyard after cyoa and Jonas's hang-ups and their conversation previously. HELP ME.]
The things everyone has had to do here with stay with them. It's your decision whether you let it haunt you. It doesn't have to, but it will take a lot of time.
