imagine jonah seeing jane show up to the institute for the first time to make her statement. in the very midst of becoming, confused and afraid and already too far gone. maybe he remembered what that felt like, even after 200 years. to slowly lose yourself to something that feels so right. i’m sure that’s something you don’t easily forget.
and then imagine him seeing her again, as a full avatar. oh, he’s been keeping an eye on her, of course he has. but to actually see her now, fully consumed by the corruption, a true monster. hostile and inhuman and attacking his institute.
now imagine he’s in love.
