[ hugs are nice. being with people is also nice. jonas has been used to being alone or not having very strong connections. that was true for a good portion of the last couple of years. and then he'd met alex, and a day later he'd met setsu. kazuki. all people he's strongly bonded with now. people he can rely on and trust.
setsu in particular...really was sort of the first friend he'd made on his own in a very long time. the first he felt like he could trust without fear of that trust being broken. it had been a scary process to decide it was okay. but he made the right choice, he thinks. ]
I do. Know that, I mean. I think...I always have. Maybe that's why it was always a little frustrating to see you take on everything you do. I--all of us--want to be there for you, too. We need each other.
[ we need each other. it's a weak nod, their shoulders slumping a little at that thought because. when was it that they realized that? that they needed them. was it after feeling so alone those first weeks, not knowing.. anything. or anyone? and finding a team they could work with? was it after that first excursion, watching someone they began to slowly open up to, dead in a pool of blood in front of them? was it after that first Friday of losing someone they cared for, and realizing they could potentially lose them next?
they don't know... but they do know he's right. their fingers curl to grip at his jacket from where their arms are wrapped around him. they offer a more assured nod the second time around. ]
...We do need each other. [ and more softly ] I'll continue to rely on all of you.
[ he doesn't try to pull away from their grip, simply letting it happen and keeping them secure there. ]
Good. As long as you can do that, I think it'll make all of us happy. And we'll rely on you, too. That's...what's the point of being a team otherwise, right? We picked each other because we all thought we'd be good together. I still think that's true.
[ it do be comfy. his words and this does help chase away those sadder and grim thoughts. bringing some of that reassurance back with them. ]
Hehe... I think it's still true as well. [ they'll pull back a little to offer a warm smile. ] Thinking back, I'm glad to have ran into you in that bowling alley that day. Which... I guess is to say, I'm happy to have met you, Jonas.
[ no matter what happens in the next week, or the week after, they're glad to have ended up in this situation. they'll glance out for a moment, peering up at the sky until back to him. ] Do you want to head back inside? Should keep away any other pig encounters.
[ as i prepare us to wrap this thread up to free you from w4... ]
...our history would've been way different if we hadn't, that's for sure. I'll never regret the way things worked out. I'm glad we met...I'm glad I asked about you and you trusted me enough to tell me.
[ because that was the crux of it. an understanding born from circumstance, and even now, he's always sort of felt like they've understood so many things.
which is to say...there's a nod. ]
We should probably head back in, yeah. I'll be so glad when these pigs are gone for good. [ he pulls back too then, but he gestures with his head to lead them onward. ] C'mon.
