[ yeah, realistically somebody could straight-up be murdered in a few days. funny how that works. but he figures that's not important to bring up since he thinks you'd have to really be naive to not think of that possibility.
he's not sure how to read that shift, and part of him thinks maybe he shouldn't bother pushing, but...he's curious. and haru offered the information first. ]
Wouldn't that depend on if you believe in fate to begin with? [ an idle comment, and it's one that doesn't clarify if jonas does or does not believe in it himself. ] But maybe. It's as good an explanation as any in some cases. How long's a while?
[ haru doesn't bring it up because maybe talking about murder fuckin sucks! maybe thursday will be fine. he has lived many uneventful thursdays. ]
I believe in fate when it comes to him, I guess. [ fated to be a pain in his ass? rin is so annoying? ] It's been this way since elementary school. We were on the same swim team back then.
there's a second where he seems to stare at haru like he's trying to process that. ]
Yeah. Yeah, you do get it. [ because yeah, time really does not mean much when circumstances are what shape how close you are to a person. ] Like...you could know someone for your entire life, but because of something that happens with someone else, they may not actually be as important as the other person.
[ sometimes your entire life is completely uprooted by means beyond your control, but you find yourself closer to someone you were introduced to way too late. ]
Mm. [ friendship isn't a simple thing to compare between people; relationships are more complicated than that. longevity, trust, closeness, love—who could say it correlates solely with time, or any other single factor?
—well, he's not that verbose, but jonas seems to get it anyway. ]
It's more... what you go through together. ...People here could grow close quickly for the same reason. Probably. [ even if it's only seven weeks. ]
[ somehow that part hadn't actually occurred to him though, and he's blinking curiously as if he's putting two and two together. you know. like he and alex didn't bond while in crisis mode to begin with.]
Probably. [ a tentative agreement. ] Probably depends on the people. I think...some people are more likely to trust more quickly than others. And that's the kind of thing that makes people closer to begin with.
As far as we know it could go one of two ways. The way you'd think it should--[ what haru implied ]--or the opposite where people isolate further.

...Have you known Alex long, too?

there's a sound like "fair enough", because he thinks he can understand only applying it to certain things over others. ]
Maybe not as long as you and Rin, but. It sort of still feels like a lot longer than it's been. Kind of like forever? If that makes sense.

...It does. I don't think time is a good measure of how much someone can mean to you. Or change you.
