Indeed.

So, where life was at a coin flip for me- two paths formed.

One where I became a scholar- and perhaps became that magician who caused the Red Winter in that timeline.

The other- where I enlisted in the navy... and got to where I am today.

Though that doesn't explain one thing.

Maybe. If you do that, though, they might not think you're willing to really fight back.

So far, all we have had to deal with are assassins who know a little bit of magecraft. And with the way I have the suit planned - it should be able to ward them off.

What?


Hey! Have you been feeling better?

If I was the cause of it in the other timeline- who caused it in mine?

Or was it a predetermined natural disaster, given extra incentive by the alternate me.

Yeah, but- they don't know about it, do they?

...I don't really want to do something that's just going to hurt me. And it... tastes awful.

Maybe there's, like...fixed points. Things that can't be changed because they're so important.

-nods- Where there isn't a cause... it's a natural disaster.

Otherwise, I guess I did cause it in that other timeline.

...Right.

Still - if we defend ourselves, they'll probably get trapped. If they scale up and send in their own people, they'll get exposed.

Well, that's your business then.

Not particularly.

It's ruthlessness, and rationality combined- and misguided.

If you think about it, it's not a far call from me.

We both rejected governments. On different reasons, for sure- and we took different solutions and methods.

And then you get what you want. You don't look like the bad guy there.

Is there... something wrong with not wanting to hurt myself?

I just need to figure out what projects of ours to cut, so we stay in budget. That's what Cyril's been asking me over the past few days.

It's your life, after all. I don't suppose anyone would judge you for abstaining.

Huh...I don't know what I'd do if my alternate was a jerk. Probably have an existential crisis. I'm glad you're taking it well.


Sure! (She walks over.)

That's got to suck, but it's a lot less stressful than getting your employees killed, I think.

Well. I believe everyone has a capacity, for good or bad. Whether by intention or not.

Though, I must agree. I can't imagine you to be a jerk.
