Albert Wesker. Pharmaceutical Research and Development. This surely won't end poorly.

That really is an unanswered question then, isn't it? If you were actually happy there.
I know for a fact that I wasn't.
I suppose it's just considering whether it's possible that I could have been. If I was even capable of it in the first place.

[ For a long moment, she's tempted to ask why that's a question. But then she realizes, even as she's washing her face... ah. Does she want to ask that? It's probably unspoken: Because some part of him must be wondering the same thing for him now. For him and this weird life they live. Him and Jaeger. Him and her...
Was Albert happy now?
She actually has something to that effect typed until she delates it, and responds with something else. ]
Yeah, I can see how that would be a wonder.
I try to think sometimes, about what I would have even been in that life without James. Other than dead.

It's always difficult, thinking about the people that were like that. The ones you owe your life to in some way or another.
And it's not even for this lifetime, is the weird part
For this one...
I don't know, aside from my parents, I guess there were some formative people for me in college and high school
But if I think about the ones still in my life, there's my sons and there's you

...Consider it appreciated, then.
[He has no idea what to do with that; it's likely obvious even over text.]

Of course.
That was probably too forward sorry its late

Well, it isn't as though the sentiment isn't returned.
[ Ring ring we're calling him. ]
[Jaeger's a little late in getting home tonight. Work was a bit busier than expected and he had a few things to take care of, but after seeing this, he definitely rushes home.
He's pretty much always worried about his boyfriend, and this certainly isn't helping.
The first place he'll check is the study, as usual. Are you in here...?]

[Yes, of course he is- ...Jaeger, are you okay...]
There you are. Busy night tonight...?
[He'll set his phone down near where he's sitting on the couch; come join him, all right?]

[He'll set his phone down near where he's sitting on the couch; come join him, all right?]
[He'll absolutely join Wesker, immediately moving to sit beside him, though he's not all up in Wesker's business just yet because he wants to talk to him about that response to the Retrospec post.]
Are you okay? I saw that reply to the Retrospec post, it's... well, it's certainly not an easy topic.
Are you okay? I saw that reply to the Retrospec post, it's... well, it's certainly not an easy topic.
Yes, of course.
[He takes a moment to exhale before trying to steady himself.]
I know you like to discuss things with others to sort yourself out, so it's not as though I have any problems with that. It was just... a little unexpected to see, I suppose.
[He probably should have expected something along those lines given what the Retrospec post was about in the first place, but somehow it didn't occur to him that Wesker would want to talk about it.]
...You didn't answer my question, by the way.

[...Right. Right...]
I've been...all right, certainly no worse off than I normally am. I simply wasn't expecting Retrospec to throw that topic in my face today.

No, I... I understand. It's certainly not something I was expecting either.
[He's quiet for a moment, reaching up to toy with his bangs.]
...Do you want to talk about it? Maybe it'll help a bit...?
[Obviously Wesker's going to discuss it with people on the network, but Jaeger's not content just leaving it like that. Wesker may be fine, but he still feels uneasy.]

If you would like to, though I admit I don't know where to start.
Honestly, I don't really know either. It's such a complicated topic, and I'm not really sure I know what my feelings on it are.
[Let him think for a moment. He'll come up with a starting point eventually.]
I... still don't like the idea that you should be judged for your past life's actions. I don't believe it's fair to who you are now. But... it's not fair to completely dismiss those actions either. Our souls are the same as the person in our memories, so it doesn't feel right to just ignore what they did and pretend like it's unimportant.
I suppose there must be a balance somewhere in there, but I genuinely don't know what it would be.

It isn't something that's going to have a fair answer, I believe. It's a circumstance in which there's an answer that's technically correct in a moral sense - it isn't right to ignore what was done in our past lives - but that answer isn't a fair one, and that's why I find it important to consider it so thoroughly.
[...just because it's correct doesn't mean that it's right, um.]
[...just because it's correct doesn't mean that it's right, um.]
[Man, he really hates this topic.]
You're probably right. In the end there probably isn't a fair answer. That doesn't mean I'm ever going to be able to just accept that. I just can't stand the idea that our lives here and now are somehow less important than our actions in a past life.
[He sighs and tugs on his bangs for a moment before letting go.]
This is another thing that's just going to be unfair, but it's so frustrating to think about.

[...Oh. That's...mm.]
It isn't that I believe our lives here are unimportant, or that nothing we do matters. You do know that...?

No, it's... more of a general thing. I don't think you'd believe something like that. Otherwise you wouldn't have agreed to date me.
[That's not just his ego speaking! You wouldn't have pursued your own happiness if you thought it really meant nothing.]
