[ sad teen coalition sticks together. and there's always something new to be sad about! this week it's insecurity. ]
I feel bad for people who are better at shrugging it off. They must be used to worse.
[ though he wishes he could do more with this grief than compress it as small as possible and hope it doesn't flare up constantly. losing someone you care for violently is something that most people cope with over the course of years—not a couple days.
but, well, you work with what you have. and that's one sunday, and an empty grave plot. ]
No one here's been a huge asshole to me. Hope it's the same for you. [ has anyone bullied u jonas..... ]
[ let's not talk about insecurities, as if they aren't both just skulking around a graveyard anyway. ]
I don't know if it's so much that they're used to worse. I mean yeah, that's definitely a possibility, but I think it's also that maybe they think they can't take time to focus on it because they have to keep going with stuff.
[ which is usually jonas himself, actually. things happen. bad things, sad things, life experiences that change your whole world. sometimes all you can do is shrug it off because you don't have the luxury of time to really comprehend everything.
here's been different. and maybe it's why he's more supportive of other people taking time to grief and process things, too. this game is unfair to everyone in a lot of ways, but that doesn't mean people should have to be rushed.
the comment makes him laugh, slightly. it's more of a quiet and distant huff as he shakes his head. ]
No. Most people have their own things to worry about and that's important. So it's about trying to support them in the end. If that makes sense. [ also jonas is aware he can be an asshole about several things, but this is different. ]
[ that makes sense. the need to constantly be moving forward, lest the pressure catches up and immobilizes you entirely.
maybe it's avoiding problems by taking on new problems, but he thinks there's a certain strength in it. he'd probably just sink. ]
...I talked to Shenhe. And Fuwa. About how to really help people on other teams. [ because they all do have things going on, and concerns, and people to love and take care of. they all have full lives. ] Still haven't come up with any real solutions.
[ DON'T USE THAT METAPHOR WHEN RIN DIED VIA DROWNING.
it's fine, jonas does not entirely know the lore but he nods. ]
Sure, like that. [ but he seems more interested in the other line of conversation. ] I know the idea is probably that it's every team for themselves, but...we're all still getting to know each other better and be friends across teams. It's normal to want to help each other. But when people are getting hit from all sides, I don't know how we're supposed to stop things for a while.
