If I do, I hope it's a future me that can tell me we won our war.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Really don't wanna run into a past me.

[akisazame]

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

That makes the two of us.

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

Though, I don't know. I'm not sure if I'd like to meet a future version of myself, either.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Think of the things your future self can tell you. Like it gets better. Or worse.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

At least forewarned is forearmed.

[akisazame]

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

I wonder. It'd be convenient to know the future. But that can lead to dependency.

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

You could become obsessed with attaining a favorable future, or in destroying an unpleasant one. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

You just gotta keep your focus clear. The harm in that scenario isn't knowing. It's misusing what you know.

[akisazame]

[A clear focus, huh?]

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

It sounds easy when you put it like that.

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

Not that it's bad.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Easier said than managed, but with practice, not as hard as you think it might be.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Choose the perspective you want to see through.

[He hesitates before he sends the message.]

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

You're right about that, at least. It makes me wonder if I'm overdue for a new one.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Just make sure you stay true to yourself when you figure out how to look at this. That's more important than just about anything else.

[He had his doubts shortly after signing on with the CDC. He'd done his best after Luke's departure to strive for his dream of a better world--had moved back to his homeland to remind himself of where he could do the most good, had pushed for replica rights--but the crew's mission threw everything out of focus. Macha hadn't helped matters. Neither had seeing Luke and the rest of his friends.

What was he to do when every inch of him was yelling at him to ditch the Neheda to find them? Even though he reminds himself about what it'd spell for Auldrant, this dangerous fear won't go away. Who was he supposed to help, here? His friends who weren't from his time, or his planet and those friends?

But Garrus is right. What matters is a decision that won't keep him up at night with regret.]

FROM: cecil.guy@cdc.org

Thanks, Garrus. I think I needed to hear that.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Anytime you need to talk, Guy, you know where to find me.
