Answer: 1. The first two lines are linked:
"A couple (say A and B) decided to commit suicide (so) after a rough life, they decided to jump off a building."
2. The parachute which A saw belonged to B.
"B watched A drop for about 8 seconds and then saw a parachute opened by A."
Now, there can be 4 cases. The perspective matters a lot.
Both A and B betrayed each other.
A betrayed B but B did not betray A.
B betrayed A but A did not betray B.
Both A and B did not betrayed each other.
Case 1: Both A and B betrayed each other.
A jumped and opened the parachute, hence betrayed B.
B did not jump, hence betrayed A.
Case 2: A betrayed B but B did not betray A.
A jumped and opened the parachute, hence betrayed B.
B could not jump because of last minute reflections. S/he wanted to end life but could not gather the courage.
Case 3: B betrayed A but A did not betray B.
B consciously did not jump as A jumped off the building.
A jumped but realized B stayed so pulled open the parachute.
Case 4: Both A and B did not betray each other.
This is a tricky one yet simple one. Take cue from case 3 and 4. Both had moments where they somehow overcame the decision of committing suicide.
PS: We all understand that perspective can be different but additionally, the situation is also not fully explained.
Howcome A had a parachute?
Did B also had one? May be they both pre-decided that any of us can pull off at the last moment. May be.
The mental health status of A and B can give the situation a different turn.
What exactly the life situation of A and B?
The story after they both turned out to be alive can give many clarifications.
