[ He types out the words "it wasn't pointless" before sitting with them for a moment. Just like Jonas, he considers whether or not it's worth rising to and getting defensive over. Finally, he deletes them. ]
Yeah ig you have a point tbh, it's not like they gave us tests or anything
Soldier thing sounds more interesting than it is. My dad did it, stationed in the city, so everyone figured I'd follow in his footsteps. Wasn't like I was gonna try to prove them wrong
[ This lie is much faster and easier than the last one. The ones rooted in truth always are. ]
You ducked my other question btw. What were you doing back home?
[ Pressure? From his half-baked fantasy? A life in the city guard would have its challenges but he's seen how they cluster at the bars after work, laughing and sharing stories from the day. How they'll walk with their children in the streets after an early shift, ensuring they're home from school safely. No one looks at them twice. No one questions them.
They have a responsibility to keep Insomnia safe, but within reasonable limits. They give what they can, a few hours each day, and the rest of that time they spend with loved ones. Family.
Anyway I'm sorry And you're not the problem here for getting stressed out and hitting a guy I want to say that now so you know so it isn't this thing you ever worry about or hang onto or whatever
It's not like any of it was over the line or w/e. And I don't regret hitting him bc he deserved it, but it wasn't bc I was stressed out and I wish I'd aimed somewhere else
[ ... is Jonas worried or hanging onto something? He could ask, but... that's still too difficult for him to manage. ]
( Breathing in deeply, he holds it. After a few seconds, he slowly exhales. )
Okay well if you're accepting my apology can you just say you're accepting it? Then I can do you that favour I owe you and we can start fresh, so think up something really good🙏🏻
You said I have to do smth for you bc you woke up to move the armoire I'm being so fr rn please say you accept my apology or I'll keep apologizing and each one is gonna be more embarrassing for me than the last
Let's rewind for a sec tho How are you not stressed out? It's a genuine question I'm not judging or anything I'm happy for you if you're not but I have trouble believing it considering I've been white knuckling this whole ride so far
