You... didn't actually die, did you?

[unfearful]

[Quietly]

... Not exactly that way.

But I did.

[caprice_of_song]

I see...

I'm sorry to hear that.

[unfearful]

... It's all right. Like I said, what's important is protecting what matters.

[caprice_of_song]

I think you and I are a little alike in that regard, then.

[unfearful]

... Did you...?

[He doesn't want to jump to conclusions, but...]

[caprice_of_song]

Well, apparently I do a little later on, and given my thoughts right now, I think I understand how that may have come to be.

[unfearful]

... Wait. What do you mean, 'later on?'

[Sorry, but no one's told him about alternate timelines yet.]

[caprice_of_song]

Evidently, it's possible for people to come from different points in time, even if they're from the same world. According to my friends, who came from a point in time further ahead than my own, I do end up dying.

I'm not sure if the future they're telling me about is absolute, of course, but...

[unfearful]

That's... strange.

[caprice_of_song]

A little. It's difficult to wrap your head around.

[unfearful]

Then I suppose it's just as well that no one, as far as I know, is from my world.
