I love my daughter so much. I wish I could stay in their universe for the rest of my life. It's...
That's a good impulse. Never lose sight of that.
it'd be nice for you to have it all too. i just wish there was a way to make that happen that also didn't break reality really badly.
I've gotten more in the last few months than I ever thought I could. I get to see the new Earth. I get to be a mom. It's not everything, but it's enough.
maybe i am being selfish about it. but i'm going to see if there's anything i can do. there just has to be a way for everyone to have their cake and eat it, too.
If you think you have something, let me know. Noble sacrifice is nice and all, but if there's a loophole that doesn't doom a timeline I'll take it.
well, what if there was a way to do both? i sort of recently figured out how to be in two places at once with my glitch powers i got from sticking my arm in a hole in reality inside of a dream, but what if i could figure out a way to like, to that to someone else?
That would be existentially terrifying. ...But I'll consider it. I'll watch The Prestige again for research.
yeah, well, you know some things need to happen. you know it needs to be you. and i know i can use my powers on things and people that aren't me. don't get me wrong, it's hard enough teleporting people and things, and this "two places at the same time" thing takes a lot more work than just the teleporting. so, i'm not saying it would be easy. i'm not even saying i know how to do it. i'm definitely not saying i can do it safely. but maybe. maybe you can get the reward you will help make.
I'm just not sure I'll be able to handle it when I'm the one who dies, knowing another of me gets to go and frolic with my daughter. Or that I'll be able to handle when I'm the one who lives, knowing that another me died hoping she would be me instead. I'm not sure I can leave Strider behind, either. ...But I'm still considering it. You do your research, and I'll do mine. We have a few years left to ponder, I think.
this is the kind of power i've been burdened with. the kind of power that can change fate. never said it was easy. it never has been. and maybe using it to help others without breaking reality also puts that burden on other shoulders. but hey, i can probably do more than one person if i can do one, so you wouldn't have to leave your strider, if it's doable at all.
