I don't... I don't understand.

No...

No, no, no, you listen to me! Because you sure don't have the time for this and neither do I! I'm not going anywhere. Not with you.

...Why not? You know damn well why not! If I leave now, then Shaun...!

[Ethan trails off, letting loose a miserable, choked sigh.]

Please. Don't do this.

[leanonstuff]

Where are they planning to take you, Ethan?

[pressxto]

[Ethan's voice is shaky, but he tries to answer the detective as calmly as possible.]

I-I don't know. He hasn't told me anything yet. I don't know what he's got planned for me.

[Or if there even is a plan.]

[leanonstuff]

[He nods, watching Ethan thoughtfully.]

Luckily, I don't think you have to worry too much. It seems like time doesn't mean much around here.

[Otherwise Ethan wouldn't be the only one losing his shit over not being able to find Shaun in time.]

[pressxto]

Even if that's true...

[Ethan shakes his head.]

That doesn't change anything. Shaun still needs my help.

[leanonstuff]

[He wouldn't have really expected a different answer.]

I know. I promise to keep searching for you, and if I hear or see anything, I'll do everything in my power to help.

[pressxto]

[A heavy sigh.]

...Thank you.

[scottdoe]

Sounds like a real shame. A father being pulled from his son like that.

[pressxto]

...Yeah. You're absolutely right.

[There's more that Ethan could elaborate upon.

He could talk about how this isn't the first time his child---his life---has been taken away from him. About how much it hurts...

But there's something else that's got Ethan's attention. There's something familiar about this stranger... But what is it?]

[scottdoe]

[Scott nods.]

I hope you can reason a way out of this situation. If there's anything I can do to help, you let me know. Don't give up so easily.

[sword_obsession]

Nice to see someone care about their kid like that but you shouldn't be worried.

Time stands still while you're here. So when you're sent back you will be sent back to the exact time and place you were before all this started.

So for the moment Shaun is safe.

[pressxto]

He's safe...?

[It's a comforting thought, but Ethan's not entirely convinced.]

[sword_obsession]

Yes and I promise that.

I get absolutely no benefit in telling you a lie.

[triptoprofiling]

Christ, Ethan not you too...

[You don't have to specialize in human psychology to understand the torment Ethan Mars is going through.]

[losthisheart]

[ MAN UP. ]

Not like I don't feel pity for you.

..but you could have worse odds, so keep on fightin'
