No, it's— ("okay"? it isn't and hibiki knows that personally, which is why jonas cuts himself off to listen to what she has to say.
he doesn't know what he expected, but it wasn't this. awkward sincerity, even insensitive—it is, but only mildly, and jonas finds that it makes him feel less alone in tripping up or making the occasional mistake—is appreciated more than people's pointless platitudes.
all those clichés she's surely heard too are remembered now, and he smiles despite the mood.)
What, no "time heals all wounds"? I don't even get a "she's in heaven with God and His angels now"? (jonas says it for both of their sakes, willing the conversation into something lighter. thankfully, hibiki already paved the way. all he has to do now is lift a shoulder, act as if he's coping well, and address her kindness:) You know... I think that's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me.
(he looks over at her, meeting her eyes.)
You've got me, too. So, if either of us is feeling lonely or helpless, we pick up the phone. You can talk to me about whatever—your mom, this place, things on your mind, or just... nothing. Cool?
