Last I saw you, you were still alive. So. What happened t'you doesn't match. [ it makes sense? honestly. but the idea of many different versions of one place gives him a headache something fierce. ]
Far as I'm concerned, we still are. Pretty sure you can get to know me again-- sounds like we've got the time for it.
[ ... ]
Still. Everythin' up to that point was the same for you? We showed up on your island. Del got hurt. Somethin' happened in that temple of yours and a Human showed up...
[ he's checking things off on his fingers as he goes. ]
[ ...and then saint rella came by to check up on him, but he's not going to bring that part up. ]
Then... what, the village held that festival and we all went off to Altabury. Where you lot handed off that phony lance, plannin' to take out Count Louis during Lady Junah's performance. All of which led up to that duel on the roof of the opera house. That right?
Everythin' but that's the same, more or less. I know there's loads of people here from different places, but people from the same place but it's different too?
[ he has to wonder what happened after that in eupha's version of things. with will out of the picture, would they have just stuck with louis? even if he'd killed lady junah with the rest of them? he doesn't think he would have stood for that, but... ]
Weird to think we might still be runnin' around our world in some other timeline.
[ maybe even that utopia from the book exists somewhere, huh. things would've been a hell of a lot different if they'd been born into that world.
the silence feels heavy, and he looks over to basilio. it's probably been well over a decade since fidelio's been the one who's needed to cheer him up. he wasn't great at it then, and that was when it was simple. it's not just a couple of bullies or a skinned knee now, and he doesn't know what the hell he's supposed to do. ]
...Right. Well. Probably no sense thinkin' too hard about it now, yeah? However it works, it's the three of us here now. Oughtta make the best of it.
[ well, made that awkward for everyone didn't he? as soon as he realises they've all gone silent, and that silent is weighted like a ten ton stone, he shakes he head. like he's snapping himself out of a trance. ]
Yeah. It's what's happenin' now that matters.
Not sure what any of that actually is, but-- there's gotta be some way t'find out, right?
[ seeing basilio shake himself back out of it, fidelio silently exhales in relief. ]
Don't seem like there's any way for us to contact whoever's runnin' things here unsolicited. Figure they're bound to find the pile of pamphlets they never gave us eventually, though. Maybe that'll remind 'em to come and tell us what's what.

And the two of you led the evacuation when the human attacked.
[ She won't let them breeze past that detail. ]
Yes, all of that sounds exactly right. Then, somehow, our memories diverge there...
In that duel... I saw as Will was struck down by Louis. And after that, I... froze. I'm not sure what became of the others.

If there are other versions of reality, worlds where events transpired differently, it's... a lot to think about.

it's probably not hard to figure out why. ]

... Yes, you're right.
I know not what is in store for us here, but it is some comfort to be able to face it with the two of you.
