Your predictions are absolutely fascinating to me. (I won't say how right or wrong they are, but they're fascinating.)

Normally I don't differentiate between Jon and "Jon" when writing. That is, even when writing in the TCRverse, I'm basically writing real!Jon. In this story I decided to draw out their differences. "The ability to deal with crazy" is one way to put it. (But, again, I won't tell you how I would put it. Not yet. That would be spoilery.)
