Thanks for always being there for me. I... don't know how the next week is going to shape up to be, but no matter what happens, I hope we can keep being friends.
okay, well, he stops to actually face her this time. ]
...of course we're going to keep being friends. Not many people I can stand being around after 150 years, you know? [ easily said. it's a joke, but it's also no less sincere. ] None of us really know what's going to happen next, but we'll stick together as long as we can. And like I said, pretty sure there isn't anything that can really change this.
[ he's just leading her along to go sit down somewhere. ]
No it's...maybe I'm being a little too...whatever about it. [ overly sincere. overly focused about it. ] It's something my team and I have been thinking about lately. The whole time and trust thing.
...can I ask why you think that might change? [ because this seems to be a sticking point. maybe it's just because everything will be over in a week. ]
Or unlucky, depending who you ask. [ ...sips his coffee. debates what he wants to do. ]
Nahri asked me something kind of weird earlier. About reappearing bruises? She said it was because of something you mentioned to her. [ he adjusts his grip on the cup. ] I told her a bunch of mine reappeared when we got back, so the same probably happened to you.
[ i'm not mad. i just want to make sure you're okay if this is what it is. hopefully you're not mad at me for asking. ]
Fair enough. [ how the hell would you answer it anyway. ] If you don't want to think about it still, I'll drop it. But it's...a pretty heavy thing, no matter which way you were involved. I don't want you to have to deal with this by yourself if you don't want to.
[ "Yeah, it's even weirder anyone would ask that out of a little kid." "Not that weird when that little kid could be asked to murder any week to save herself and her team."
he's not sure if it was an accomplice kill with monika or if it was mizuki by herself. honestly it also doesn't fucking matter to him, given that he's talking to mizuki right now. and like he said, no matter which way it went, it's not something easy for anybody. maybe he's overstepping since it's not like mizuki doesn't have monika anyway, but...whatever. maybe it's a holdover from looking after her for this long. maybe it's concern for a friend. it's probably both.
this is going to be very funny if he's just drawing the wrong conclusions entirely and she actually didn't do anything. ]
What did I just say about trusting me? [ he's trying to keep it light because he doesn't want her to feel bad about it, or feel like she does have to tell him anything she doesn't want to. ] I'm not going to hate you. For this or anything else.

It doesn't have to do with you, promise. I've just been thinking, that's all. More than anything, I just... I want to stay friends with you guys.

...can I ask you something without it being weird? [ he figures if she doesn't want to answer, she won't. ]

...did you break the chair so your pipe wouldn't be an obvious match? Or was that an accident?
[ he's not accusing her. but more like he's asking just to get a gauge. ]
no subject
... No, I didn't do that. It was just a lucky coincidence.

... You don't have to keep beating around the bush like this, Jonas. You can ask already.

I don't think I deserve to say I don't want to talk about it. I just... don't want you to hate me.

No, I—I believe you.
