Exactly. I know it's hard for everybody when so much is happening and everything's predictable and we have a bunch of clues we can't solve right away, but we can't let people get too distracted. As long as we have a few people who can keep us all on track when the time comes...you know, the whole lead by example thing? That should help us.
Yeah. Especially if this happens again, where two are erased.. [ they seem distracted by those words in particular. lead by example, huh... ] We'll do all our part. We'll do better. I.. I'll do more.
[ it's said assuredly, tugging a bit at their gloves now. ] ..I appreciate you checking up on me and keeping me company, Jonas. I.. should be okay now.
[ with a hand, they reach out to lightly touch his. they grip it briefly. ]
It has been. But you've already spent some of your precious time here, [ with them ] and I know it must have been hard on you too. [ they let go, offering a small smile. ] Just... don't spread yourself too thin, okay?
[ he allows the grip. it's important that they know it's not like he's wasting his time here. ]
I only spend my time where I really want to these days. [ a reminder. but he does let their hand go when they pull back. ] But I'll be okay. We'll...regroup back at the warehouse with the others soon. I doubt any of us are gonna stay out too late.
I know. [ they smile softer at that. of course they trust his word. ] Mm... I doubt any of us will, yeah. But I may stay here a bit longer for now. Only just a bit.
[ we can also gently clwose this thread for more things... ]
