I am but a humble villain.
OUT OF SHEER PERSONAL CURIOSITY. WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU SPECIFICALLY? WHAT SERIES OF EVENTS COULD HAVE LEAD YOU OUT OF EVERYONE DOWN A PATH OF PITIFUL SELF REFLECTION?
I saw into a dark pocket that I was never meant to penetrate, and in my hubris I planned to end as planned, and then persist regardless. These plans failed.
UNDERSTOOD. A PITIABLE EXISTENCE INDEED. YET, YOU ARE STILL HERE, ARE YOU? ARE YOU STILL REALLY YOU? OR DID THESE PLANS MESS UP YOUR UNIQUE PERSONHOOD ALTOGETHER.
It is not merely the plans, it is the failure. The frequent uncertainty, the indulgences. Things that are incongruent which who and what I am supposed to be.
... YES. THIS IS ALL VERY ENLIGHTENING TO THE CRITICAL STATE OF YOUR SITUATION. I FEAR. YOU MAY BE A BIT TOO FAR GONE. THERE IS NO WORLD A WORTHWHILE HOST SHOULD BE THAT SELFISH. YET. YOURE STILL HERE. AND YOURE NOT... MORONIC, PER SE. I CAN STILL FEEL THE OLD DOC IN YOUR WORDS, IN YOUR CADENCE. IN THE WAY YOU CARRY YOURSELF. MAYBE... JUST MAYBE. THERE IS SOMETHING MORE WAITING FOR YOU IN THE DISTANCE..? LISTEN. LOOK AT IT THIS WAY. IN THE ALPHA TIMELINE, WHERE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND THE EXCELLENCE OF LORD ENGLISH IS FULLY AND COMPLETELY REALIZED. I AM DESTINED TO DIE. AND YET, I DID NOT DIE. I TRIUMPHED IN MY SUPPOSED FINAL STRIFE. ALTHOUGH WHAT I AM PRESENTING TO YOU NOW IS SEEMINGLY DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO YOUR OWN SITUATION AT FACE VALUE, THERE IS SOMETHING SIMILAR HERE. WE BOTH HAPPEN TO PERSIST, OVER THE CORRECT ANSWER OF WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN. I TOOK MY SUCCESS OVER MY DEATH. AND I USED IT TO SPREAD TERROR AND DESTRUCTION IN THE NAME OF LORD ENGLISH ALL OVER PARADOX SPACE. ...I MAY JUST BE DELUSIONAL HERE. AN ALTERNATE CUE HEAD WITH SELFISH AMBITIONS SOUNDS AWFULLY FAR GONE, AS I SAID. IT'S JUST... PERHAPS YOU CAN TWIST YOUR EXISTENCE INTO A BRAND NEW ROLE? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Perhaps you are right. So very much has interrupted my omniscience, so many surprises. Who am I to say what will become of me? I still have six years remaining. And look at all that has occurred in less than one… Hm. Yes, food for thought.
SIX YEARS REMAINING, HUH? HOW COME. IS IT THE STANDARD COUNTDOWN?
Yes, the remaining time before the end of this universe and the entrance of the lord. Most of my preparations regarding this are related to fueling the simmering resentment of your counterpart.
OF COURSE, OF COURSE. HAHAHAH. SEND HIM MY MOST CRUEL AWFUL REGARDS IN TERRIBLY CRYPTIC WAYS ONE OF THESE DAYS, IF YOU'D SO ENTERTAIN MY REQUEST. WISHING YOU WELL WITH THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT. YOU'RE ALRIGHT, CUEBALL.
