This story is about the name Jonas and dedicated to Jonas Furrer. Jonas was a dance colleague of mine at Cot arts, Rotterdam, but is born in Switzerland. He is the youngest of three siblings. Both of the middle children committed suicide. There was his sister who hang herself and a mental clinic when she was very young. His adopted Asian brother jumped from a bridge around 2010. I saw a video on Facebook where Jonas played a piano song and sang on his brothers' funeral. Jonas is a dancer and musician and a very talented young man. After the death of his siblings, he got his family heritage and invested it in apartments in Rotterdam. His oldest sister decided to invest the money in a movie about the death of the middle children. Jonas and his mother participated in it, but his father stayed out. I watched the movie and because of being a middle child as well, the transition got deep. My family had abandonment myself because of my internet work. There was this scene about his sister and the wife of his brother which triggered me.  His brother had a secret box where he kept his private belongings. His sister and wife opened the box in this scene and showed it in the movie like a ritual. I was very confused about his sister decision and did not like the movie. Jonas also tried to intervene in my family conflict after asking him for it. He betrayed me as he reverses the victim, perpetrator role just like my family does. I really started to wonder if his siblings must have felt the same and could not trust him anymore. What is your story about the name Jonas, making decisions after someone died and opening the Pandora of a middle child?
