No. If they lived, they would have been about 18 or 20 by the time I died. I don't know how likely that is, however.

...I don't really discuss the possible outcomes of it with anyone. I don't know if you particularly want to hear it, either.

[ Honestly, no. But at the same time, she's here, it's 2:30, she's had a bottle of wine, she's sitting on her toilet, and... ]

Because the viruses might have been passed down to them through her, or even genetically?

[manufactured]

No. It's more what happened afterwards, after the relationship ended, that troubles me. She was from Eastern Europe, a country near Russia.

I know I was particularly hard on that entire region while I was trying to destroy a corporation several years later. Several of the places I was after were areas they owned, but were populated by civilians.

I don't know if I hit the area that both of them would have returned to or not. If I did, I decimated it, with very little warning.

[He may have killed them both. Not personally, granted. But it's almost worse that it wasn't personal.]

[ Christ. ]

Is that a thought past-you even had? Or is that a connection you made in this world?

[manufactured]

It's a connection I made here.

I didn't care enough to consider it back then.

1/2

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

[matchbreaker]

That really is an unanswered question then, isn't it? If you were actually happy there.

[manufactured]

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.

[matchbreaker]

[ 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.

[manufactured]

It's always difficult, thinking about the people that were like that. The ones you owe your life to in some way or another.

[matchbreaker]

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

[manufactured]

...Consider it appreciated, then.

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

[matchbreaker]

Of course.

That was probably too forward sorry its late

[manufactured]

Well, it isn't as though the sentiment isn't returned.

[matchbreaker]

Awww, I'm glad you feel that way Albert

[manufactured]

I don't see why I wouldn't.

[matchbreaker]

It's just nice to hear it, alright?
