Hence the body-changing. Yeah, I get it. [ it's so out of the realm of possibilities for him, but at the same time he seems to be thinking this over. ] Is there a way to reverse it back where you're from?
In the story I'm from, I'm meant to suffer so I can learn the lesson that I should listen to my mom and never stray from the path I'm on. It's kind of a fucked up lesson! A friend of mine, it's even worse. He has to be perfect and never make any mistakes or tell any lies, or he doesn't get to be a real boy.
[ why the fuck is this girl friends with pinnocchio. what is happening. this is how jonas really knows he's dead, fairytales are actually real somewhere. but okay, the thing about it is that she's not wrong? it's pretty fucked up. having a predetermined destiny like that sounds pretty frustrating.
people make mistakes all the time. punishing them with something that big seems pretty unbalanced. ]
No. I don't. It's not fair because it sounds like once you mess up once, that's it for you. No chance of redemption or trying again. And...now that this happened to you, you have a little more of a chance to write your own version of the story where those things don't happen. Something like that?
[ there's a nod. he will probably stick with ylfa just because he's now thinking it's a little important to separate her from her story, but it's fine. ]
Jonas. I, uh. Don't have a nickname or anything like that so...you know. [ but there's a light frown. ] Kind of messed up for you to wind up here after all of that though.
I'm sure some people would say that's a bad thing, but I'm thinking that might actually benefit you here? [ like haha, yikes. ] What's causing everything to break? Or is it just how the story goes?
That does sound complicated. [ he doesn't even know the details, but when it's something directly tied to you? what else could it be? ] What makes you say that though?
Well, at first it was something the wolf did. But then when I died, he told me I could go back, if I wanted to, to a happier version of my story. But the Ylfa from the darker version of the story might be able to do more to help my friends.
How do you know the wolf wasn't lying to you about it? Can you trust something like that? [ he's getting the sense that that part doesn't matter from the moment ylfa heard "help my friends", but he's trying to get a picture here. ]
I...think he's sort of a straight shooter. I'm not sure he knows how to lie. Though he sure knows how to deceive a girl by wearing her grandma's nightie!
Who does? [ it sounds confident enough to be believable, at least. ] Then in any case, we'll do what has to be done so you can keep...writing it, I guess. Easy enough.
[ mostly, he thinks it's easy to think about the people who have things to get home for when it comes to strategizing. ]

Things have been breaking bad for a while now. I'm kind of desensitized to it.
