Not taking a vacation once a year, multiple days in a sequence, is the baseline.

[guestservices]

And when precisely was your last vacation?

[malewife]

Within the year. [ SURPRISE ] We went on a company picnic.

[guestservices]

Wait, does it actually count as a vacation if it's still tied to something with your company?

[malewife]

Company is what our group is called. "Kim Dokja's Company."

[ Joonghyuk

seems tired having to admit to this. ]

[guestservices]

...I see. [they also seem kind of tired upon learning this.]

...there really wasn't a better name?

[malewife]

... It was short notice. We were at the Constellation Banquet already and Kim Dokja proposed it on the spot, in front of everyone.

I had intentions to change it once we had petitions of recognition.

[guestservices]

Ah. And precisely how long ago was that?

[did you guys stall.]

[malewife]

[ He looks off to the side. ]

... Eight years ago. Four years in the most recent worldline, then four in the previous where the event happened.

[guestservices]

The regression occurred after the event itself took place then, I assume? If it didn't change in the eight years since then.

[return to a save point past that.]

[malewife]

[ Time stuff is so annoying. ]

I met Kim Dokja during my 1,864th run... On my 1,865th, my ability evolved to Group Regression, so I took as many people as I could with me.

The name stuck, unfortunately. Everyone that came remembered the group as that.

[guestservices]

I suppose that's a trade-off of being able to keep a group. [...] How many people are in your party?

[they have likely read notes, but it's easier to ask.]

[malewife]

The company consists of thirteen people, but we had a number of allies... We extended the choice to regress to many others.

[ detailed notes! ]

[guestservices]

If a person makes a choice to regress once, is it possible for them to give up or to lose that ability entirely?

[malewife]

Yes. If they chose not to regress, they could stay in that worldline. It won't be ending anytime soon. As for the ability, you would know when your ability is going to run out.

... Would you accept such a power?

[guestservices]

...it would depend on what could be done with it in that particular worldline, I think

[malewife]

Depending on when you load, you could possibly change everything and anything with the knowledge you have of the future.

You can relive moments of regret, but this time correct wrongs before they can happen. You can save those you wished to save. However, it comes with a price.

[guestservices]

And what exactly is the price? The inability to erase the memories of the events prior to regressing? How do you get to choose when you start over?

[or is it just...when you die?]

[malewife]

The point of return is decided on where you could undo most of your biggest mistakes, likewise make the biggest changes. You start over when you die.

[ IT IS WHEN YOU DIE ]

Price is memory. Also, reality. You can fix things in a new world, but it does not mean your failures are erased. The world you abandon still exists. The people you failed exist just as much as the people you save.

[guestservices]

So you aren't even really granted the choice to decide where you return. It's made for you. [...] An alternate timeline is created, but you are placed elsewhere. Even if you're given a chance to redo it, the actions still exist. Something of that nature?

[malewife]

Yes.

[ Gemini is a smart and interesting cookie. ]

If you flipped heads in one line, then you hope to another line to flip tails, it doesn't change that you have flipped heads before.

[guestservices]

Naturally. That would make sense. [they seem to find this information very interesting themselves.]

Thank you. For satisfying my curiosity on the matter.

[malewife]

Your answer.

[ Not aggressively, but i guess yjh comes off aggressive a lot. ]

[guestservices]

...even if there are people who I have failed and they would exist, if there is a chance to still try to save people I would take that risk, I suppose. Hypothetically speaking.

[malewife]

I see.

[ Labels Gemini instantly. ]
