... I think my relationship with my brother was very complicated and he was kind of a freak, so I'm going to make up some super special imaginary scenario for this.
In my mind's eye, I would be mad in this imaginary situation, I think. I believe our future is blank, so we can go anywhere.
[ help. he looks like he's not sure if he wants to laugh or not, but he lets it go and is just kind of glad vash is letting this happen. ]
...I, uh. Appreciate the hypothetical answer in a world where your relationship with your brother wasn't a huge mess. I think it's probably a good answer. [ or at least it's one he can agree with, so obviously it's good for him. ]
I hope that didn't happen to you, Jonas—someone deciding your future, making you someone you're not... Or someone you don't want to be. Kind of an ominous question? Hard not to make assumptions here.
It's...complicated. [ which is what he starts with, debating where to go with it. ] It's more like a decision someone else made that impacts me that I wish I'd been a part of. But nothing I can really change now.
In one case, yeah, it was two people. In another, it was just one person. [ now that he thinks about it. wow. things just keep happening, actually. ] I'm not even sure if being part of the discussion would've changed anybody's minds or what happened, but at least maybe then it wouldn't have been so surprising.

But I guess my brother tried to do something like that, control my life. Change me. Choose my future.

Did you ever...maybe resent isn't the right word for it. But I guess were you ever mad it happened? Even if you made a different choice in the end.

also that question seems to startle him, just slightly. ]
Man, if I knew that I'd probably be a lot less frustrated with how life is currently going. I am literally just trying to get by.
