He told me, others told me, and I saw his memories.
He would never harm you like that, Jonas. He despises bloodshed, and even if he didn't I would never allow it to happen. I can assure you completely of your safety.
(he despises bloodshed, but murdered his entire family? to save how many lives? was that a certain outcome? what gave him the right to decide something like that? why?
jonas raises a hand to cover his eyes a moment, though that just makes the dead faces stand out that much clearer in his mind. sasuke was so scared, shaking hard and close to tears when he'd seen him in that memory, and the only element missing was the perpetrator who committed such vile acts. if sasuke says it's okay, isn't that his decision? despite how warped it is byβjesus, he doesn't know.
all he feels is confusion, reluctance, fear, and doubt.)
I can't hang around him right now. This is so beyond me.
[ It's more than just a general fear of physical harm, and Sasuke realizes that. This is bigger than him, bigger than Itachi, and bigger than their world; there's no easy way to talk through it. It'll need time and discussion, and right now the former seems more important than the latter. Fuck, Deidara... ]
I understand. What I'm trying to explain to you took me years to confront; you should take what time you need.
I just regret that it happened this way. I should have taken you aside earlier.
It's none of my business. That's between you two. You've got the right to forgive him if that's what you wanna do, bc it's you who were affected by that the most. And no one can say shit about it.
But I will never forgive him for doing that to you.
ik the fact that we're here in Aefenglom and all entangled in each other's lives means I'll be hanging out w/ him again, whether that's next week or months from now. That's what I need time to deal w/.
[ There's no hiding his emotions from Jonas any longer even if he wishes he could, unable to disguise a mix of disappointment, displeasure, and concern. Beneath all of that is resolve, however, and it's this which shines through in what he chooses to say. ]
I can ensure for my part that I don't facilitate you being around one another when it's not needed. If you tell him directly you don't want to speak to him he'll also respect that, or I can do it for you.
[ There's no easy way to resolve an issue like this one, not when it's so inextricably linked to his very person, so undeniably twisted, and still without any pure happy ending for those involved. Why couldn't he give him a better reassurance? ]
[ He isn't sure. Seeing Naruto was difficult, coping with Itachi has become more complicated, and the residual effects of the mirrors are felt by all of them. But these are things he can manage, and not something with which he wants to muddy this conversation. ]
Will I see you this weekend? I was planning to cook.
