i think the truest form for jonah pre-fears would be of someone who could be broadly classified as a good person, with a penchant for selfishness and an empathy nearing at absolute zero, obsessive about his interest and kind of a nerd. someone who definitely prizes having the upper hand in social circles and conversations as a safeguard measure, not necessarily for malicious reasons (although he does kinda enjoy that), but mostly because he’s secretive of himself and does not like being perceived outside of his control. at the same time, someone who thinks deeply about the world around him and what it means and who seeks answers both because of an innate inquisitiveness and because to know something is to understand its meaning and purpose, and to understand its purpose is to know how to insert oneself in it to the best degree
