It got a little easier after a while once we knew where our dead were being held, but it didn't change that the thing happened. And that some of my friends cost the loss of some other friends. But... it happens.
[ he stares at seodore for a few moments, and there's an upturn of his lips briefly then. ]
I don't know if it's just about having a good heart. But... it feels like you may have more to say about that?
Mm. No? Not really. Perhaps if you were a little more naive, I would tell you that you can't fix people if they don't want to be fixed, or that it's not your responsibility to take on the task of fixing all your friends.
[ It seems Seodore thinks Jonas is already aware of it to an extent, so that's why he didn't say all this before. He chuckles a little. ]
It doesn't feel like that I'm talking to an 18-year old in a conversation with you. The other 18 year olds I knew were nothing like you. It's not a terrible thing. Sometimes, it feels that you're forced to think these things, whether you like it or not.
[ this is correct. jonas is aware of that to an extent, and he knows he can't fix everything or be the one to change people. and yet in some cases, he does task that responsibility to himself. sometimes he is faintly aware he may be a morality leash, but only subconsciously, really.
which is why he simply nods to the first bit before deciding to address the rest of what seodore says. ]
The only person I can fix is myself, and by doing that, I can only hope it's enough for other people. [ first and foremost. ] I can wish the best for other people, and I can do everything I can to try and steer them the right way, but I can't make the choices for them and I can't change them if they don't want to or think they can.
