[ raising his eyebrows. tell him how you really feel about sharks, sir. but then there's a question and jonas frowns lightly. ]
I'm still trying to figure that out. You'd...you'd think we're remember actually dying, right? But I don't know how else we got here either.

[ tell me how you really feel about dolphins, nu. ]
I can kind of agree with that. But we probably should believe some of it so there's no, uh...complacency? [ he says it like he's not sure it's the right word to use here. ] They're really putting the pressure on with the whole "find a team among all these strangers, and hey, by the way, you only have a few days" thing.

[ jonas is in the park, commandeering one of the swings and scrolling through his phone. he seems to be hyperfocused on that for the time being, but he hears footsteps and snaps his head up immediately.
at least he relaxes when he sees who it is though. ]
Haru, right? How's it going?

Haru, right? How's it going?
[ right, right, i forgot dolphins are assholes. he doesn't seem bothered that haru's sitting on the other swing, and he lets his foot push against the ground to start swinging a little. ]
Tense? No. Not really. [ stressed might be a good word but that's also, just, jonas's default 90% of the time and he refuses to acknowledge it. ] Just...watching the team updates. It's not a bad idea to know where people are going and who they're partnering with.

[ he's fine.
also it might be, but that's just because jonas is making sure people are actually teaming up in the first place. ]
Some of them don't surprise me at all. I knew Nahida and Kaveh were sticking together. The Gous aren't a shock either. But it's...kind of a good thing to see it finalized and know people are locked in.
[ less people to worry about accidentally getting erased for not getting their shit together. ]

[ we have 15 people die from disqualification instantly ♥ ]
Yeah.
[ the deadline was getting to be a little too tight for comfort. ]
Gerard and Ylfa came as a pair, too. ...Even for everyone who arrived here alone—I'm glad they have teams now.
[ it's kind of a curse and a blessing to know someone else here. ]
It couldn't have been easy.
Yeah.

[ yeah game over in w2 everybody get out. he nods along because that makes sense to him. ]
Not with how people still weren't sure how to approach other people. A couple of people I talked to said they weren't sure how much they could really trust that they'd work with someone they could be with for seven weeks.
[ ....which. speaking of. ]
I didn't realize you knew Rin.

[ realistically, they don't even have seven weeks to trust each other—in a place like this, it's about working together right from the get-go.
easier said than done for some, of course. his expression flickers a little. ]
...We've known each other a while.
[ how to describe rin? ]
It's like... fate. The person you always end up colliding with, even in a place like this.

[ 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.
...Have you known Alex long, too?

[ oh to be a sports anime...
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.

[ no one is more sorry than he is.
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. ]
