Oh, I understand your reluctance to get to know me better. I don't blame you. I'm associated with many universal destructions.

Okay, the beard there is weirding me out. It reminds me way too much of my dad.

[summerset]

[SQUINTS.] ...Franklin? [There should be a waver in her voice, something bleak and broken, but this is just too weird.]

[mygalactus]

This old thing? You could say I've grown rather attached to it.

[bunny_battery]

Makes you look older, that's for sure.

[mygalactus]

[ it takes him a beat longer than it should. ]

Rachel.

[ This version of Franklin barely knows Rachel from a few meetings as a child. But he certainly knows of her, from his universe-hopping.

He knows what their history might have been. ]

[mygalactus]

Oh-- oh, no. Really?

[ He frowns. And manages to look genuinely sad for about five seconds before a grin breaks out. ]

How old do you think I am right now, anyway?

[bunny_battery]

Ah... Hmm.

...Forty?

[mygalactus]

Try forty thousand.

... beards.

Sorry, Katie.

[bunny_battery]

...Okay, did not see that one coming.

[summerset]

Yeah. [Rachel closes her eyes, for a moment, but it doesn't help; all she sees is the Franklin she knew.] You're - not my Franklin.
