People keep showing up, with memories... that don't match up. Happening a lot, lately. Guess it happens... all the time, but... seems like more, now.

[Cass stops a second, not looking into the feed but at something past the comm, jaw clenching and relaxing as she thinks.]

Know I did... something. Or... something happened, to me. Made me... someone people don't like? Or are scared of. Don't know.

[It's a little terrifying, to talk to Tim and see him be relieved she's not whatever she becomes in his future.]

I guess, want advice. Want to know... if you did something... bad, or wrong, would you... want to know? Want someone... to tell you, so you could stop? Or just... let it happen, hope you... do right things?

[And that makes it sound like there is no way to stop it, that it's something unavoidable and this entire like of questioning, everything everyone else is saying, it's all pointless.

It leaves her feeling a little hopeless.]

Wouldn't know, though. Couldn't. Would have... to ask.

Well hopefully somebody respects your autonomy enough to help you figure it out.

[ Turning darkside is not the same as getting hit by a bus or something ]

I don't really know all the details.

[hellofist]

That's okay. Still don't... want to know. I think.

[And if or when she does want to know, she'd want all of the details. She would want to know every little thing because from what she's seen, her future isn't something she would want for herself at all.]

What brought this on, anyway? Tim?

[hellofist]

[She nods, but then she frowns and promptly shakes her head.]

He... reminded. But, saw it before. When I... first got here. Everyone's glad I'm... this way. Not... whatever I become.

Not encouraging.

Well here's some encouragement: By my time you're basically like you are now.

[hellofist]

[Basically. What's different, though? She doesn't want to know. Frowning, Cass shakes her head.]

Don't tell more. Have to... have to think.

Okay, sure. Take all the time you need.
