[indebts]

Mm. I imagine you're quite relieved that you weren't struck by the virus, England.

[ofhopeandglory]

Quite, yes. I could quite happily do without ever revisiting a lot of the past, and I'd rather the future remained hidden to me if only for the sake of my own sanity.

[indebts]

I agree with the first, and the second for a different reason entirely; I see no need to have my future revealed to me when I already know that it will end exactly as I plan.

[ofhopeandglory]

How nice for you.

[indebts]

It is, isn't it? To be above such anxieties.
