( jon agrees with him, to a certain extent. if he hadn't been reckless, his brother wouldn't have jumped in front of moving cars to save him. but--jon's done that, too. overestimated his skill, jumped in front of things he shouldn't have. still, he doesn't relent, keeps his arms firmly around mondo even as he continues speaking. )

No, it wasn't your fault. Sometimes--people do stupid stuff. He wanted to protect you, so he did. I don't think he'd like it very much if you blamed yourself for it for forever. He wanted you to have a future, right?

( and feeling bad about an accident for forever isn't going to get him far. ) Thinking about should haves and would haves aren't gonna help, either. It already happened. You can't change the past.
