So
How many of you have people from your own world here?
Because it's me and two of my friends
Only the three of us didn't die at the same time
And I'm just wondering how often this kind of thing happens

Comments

there's no one i know from my world here, but it's a big world.

since this place is pulling people in from a few dozen dimensions, different points in time isn't really a stretch.

[broplaints]

I guess it isn't
But
My friend died two years after we did
And apparently we were both still alive

[ordinaryannie]

if you want the easy answer, he's from an alternate timeline where things took a different turn and you all lasted a little bit longer.

and yeah, alternate timelines really are the easy answer before you ask.

[broplaints]

Yeah
It probably is
But I'm not sure he's gonna be satisfied with that, you know?
Then he'll probably just think he's not my version of himself
When it doesn't matter

[ordinaryannie]

i get it, yeah.

i don't think this is the sort of problem that has a satisfying answer, though.

and given the shit the assholes responsible for this just put everyone through, agonizing over it is probably exactly what they want.

[broplaints]

That's not real reassuring
That there's no answer for why he remembers things we don't
I just don't want him to feel like he's wrong

Probably
They're doing a good job of it
