[ktiseos]

And did you learn aught of us which surprised you, then, even knowing what you already know?

A general question, mind.

[he's not asking them to specifically list anything.]

[guestservices]

I did, actually. Which alone was surprising, but there were several other moments of clarity I was able to obtain. Overall, it was not as treacherous as I had initially imagined. Though I cannot blame any guest who does not feel the same.

[ktiseos]

It would have been less so if not for these-- other instances of myself.

[local man will stay annoyed about that.]

[guestservices]

[a curious pause.]

Just how many versions of yourself did you regain?

[ktiseos]

Two others, though they were both-- certainly similar to each other.

[guestservices]

But not precisely the same?

[ktiseos]

From different places, it seemed.

[guestservices]

And the timelines? The memories?

[ktiseos]

Similar, I think, if not the same. He seemed-- close enough to the same, each time.

[guestservices]

I see. [they pause to think about this.] And does that bother you? Seeing those futures.

[ktiseos]

Of course it does. I had already heard what sort of person I am, then-- seeing it was unnecessary.
