See, that's what I like about you, Mizu. Never a word minced.
[Whereas he can't stop expanding on the thought. To each their own.
His mouth thins though. It's a touchy train of thought. He hasn't finished riding it yet, the routes still percolating.]
Oh, I'm thinking all right. I'd need some idea of the parameters. What is or isn't possible and how it gets done. [He looks down. Away, gaze distant.] ...Depends how far back I'd have to rewind the clock to change things. Just that last night? A couple days before? Turn up on an old friend's doorstep before he takes a razor to his wrists, stop him from skipping the trip?
Or hell, take it back to when we were kids? [He bites the inside of his lip. Chuckling again, though mirthlessly now.] Before the first batch even bit it?
It's hard not to feel like you're cheating someone, if you're not trying to save everyone. It's also a good way to drive yourself bugshit.
