God the thought about getting to hear people talk about Jonah and they’re just strangers to each other. He’s just a blip on their radar. No one they’ll see again. He doesn’t care to really know someone personally just their stories.
Unlike the others where he fundamentally changed their lives because of how involved their friendships were.
Dearest friends die from his influence and choices. Strangers get to live but it’s their own choices that decide that.
And then there’s Jonathan.
