What are you doing?

I don't have time for this. We need to put together Walter's plan to defeat the observers, and you, what? Want to play games?

Comments

[twintimelines]

I know. And I'm sorry for that. For whatever happened. But I know that you've helped us all you could.

[tookhishand]

[touched?]

You are on your own... but you are very close.

[twintimelines]

I hope so. We've lost too much, along the way.

[tookhishand]

I know.

[twintimelines]

You've seen all of this, haven't you? All the possible futures?

[tookhishand]

There was never a way to know which will come to pass.

[twintimelines]

No, of course not. I don't think you should have warned us or anything. I mean, you did, that once, but that was because all the futures were the same.

[tookhishand]

If there was any way to prevent... her death, I would have. But I could not.

I am sorry.

[twintimelines]

I know.

Thank you.

[tookhishand]

There is nothing to thank me for in this case.

[twintimelines]

No, there is. You care about her, or about me, enough to be sorry. That's enough to thank you for.

[tookhishand]

Because I am not what I was.

[twintimelines]

Because...you're no longer an observer.

[tookhishand]

Yes.

[he's happy.]

[twintimelines]

[She can't help but smile at how happy he is.]

You were always different.

But how did it happen? Was it the tech? Did you have it removed?

You probably can't tell me, can you?

[tookhishand]

No. You will have your answers soon, but not from me.

Feel free to head-canon any of this, or continue being cryptic :)

[twintimelines]

Well. At least this is one good thing about being in this place. Seeing you.

You must have given so much up though, when you gave up being an observer. Was it your choice? Or was it a punishment or something?

headcanon it is :)

[tookhishand]

This... was my choice. What you have should never have been comprised in us.

Cool :)

[twintimelines]

What we have? Our emotions?

[tookhishand]

Your emotions and your... imagination, and many other things. Humanity.

[twintimelines]

[She nods]

Do you know that Peter tried using observer tech on himself?

[tookhishand]

[...]

It was undone before he lost himself.

[twintimelines]

Yes. He took it out himself.

While that was happening, though, I saw what it did to him. Saw that he was losing his ability to feel love, or sorrow, or anything. Walter said that past a certain point, it would be irrevocable. Yet, here you are.

[tookhishand]

Do you remember Christine Hollis?

[twintimelines]

Yes, she was kidnapped by an observer. He was protecting her.
