Some slight alterations then. [ it's different from their own experience, but they can imagine the process without much difficulty. the concept of time rewinding, of loop, it's similar on paper but the whole construct and structure of it is different. ]
... [ "hey, you're not alone, but also you sort of are until conditions are met." it really does sound lonely to hear, and maybe it's because they resonate with those words in a way they wish they didn't.
they aren't too sure what else to say. they can only nod, because he is right. a quiet exhale leaves them after a moment... ]
That person is why I need to go back to my world. They've done a lot for me, more debts than I could repay, but the least I can do is help break them out of their loop.
Right. That's about it. [ alex would be able to explain more, he thinks, but he doesn't offer that. the loops are still something they aren't really discussing too much.
but he hears the sigh from them and offers them a sympathetic lil shoulder bump. he gets it, or at least he gets it as best as he can. ]
Makes sense. Nothing wrong with a person being what motivates you to figure out how to get back. [ case in point. ] ...it's sort of how I feel about Alex, I guess. I want to make sure she gets back whatever it takes. And now that you and Kazuki are going to be a part of our team, that extends to you guys, too.
[ they glance a little up at him when he offers that lil shoulder bump, only to glance down afterward. but they lean a little in his direction in response to that brief touch.
it's comforting. already, Jonas has done a lot, it causes something to sit deep in their stomach. they really hope they can do what they can to secure that he gets to return back to his world- including alex and kazuki. ]
..In that case, we'll have to make the best of these coming eight weeks. I'm willing to do whatever it takes as well. So, if you need anything, let me know.
[ even if it means seeing someone outside their team as an enemy. ]
[ it's...reassuring to think that he can actually trust them. time will tell, of course, but he thinks he and alex wouldn't have agreed to partner with them (and kazuki) if they thought they were anything less than upfront about both good and bad.
it's a long road ahead, but...it can't be that bad yet. ]
Same goes here. We'll make it work. [ it's a lofty thing to offer, but it's there. it's important to know. ]
...let's just finish breakfast and we can figure out the rest later. Sound fair?
