… I won’t come any closer, if you’re uncomfortable. I’ll just stay right here. No one is getting hurt.
Your leg certainly looks… a bit out of sorts. We’ll have to get you to the hospital.

I’m keeping my hands where you can see them, I just want to take a look. I promise.
Where does it hurt, Randall? What happened?
comment in response to
post
Sentient. Alright. Hello, then.
I’m here because my son said that Randall is hurt. Can I get closer to look? Do you mind?
comment in response to
post
Er- hello.
You look a bit like someone I know. Can you speak? Are you- That is to say, are you conscious? Sentient? I’m not going to hurt either of you.

What on earth happened to you? What is that thing?

Randall? Randall, are you there?

I’ll come to you. Where are you? Do you know? Describe your surroundings, please. I’ll be there as soon as possible.

He’s hurt? By what???

The little boy…?

The other Claire is… well, it’s complicated. She went back to her own time, but something went awry again and she’s back? But different. I don’t know how to describe it.
I need to fix it. I have to fix everything I can’t lose you again.

I’m not sure.
I will do my best.

My apologies for stepping out without waking you. I hope you didn’t worry.

I don’t know quite what I did. Technically, this version of me didn’t do anything hung. Or perhaps my memories just adjusted accordingly…? Either way, I’m not entirely sure what happened. It’s all fuzzy.
What’s happening with your Hershel?

It’s difficult to explain. I may have been an accomplice in a large scale terrorist attack on London. And have created a working Time Machine that created multiple anomalies and nearly caused the end of the universe as we know it.

I did something unimaginably foolish in the name of love. Multiple things, in fact. One of which might be the cause of your current predicament.

No, I mean- ah, it’s hard to explain, but I’m at my second apartment. The one that resides underground. I know how I got here, but I cannot recall why I’m not in my regular apartment in the first place. Why did I move back down here?
comment in response to
post
Well…
I don’t know. It’s not my primary residence. Why am I here…?
comment in response to
post
At the moment, I am underground.
Yes, you are outside. You’re not in here with the rest of us.
I saw the outside, once. Sometime within the stream, I caught a glimpse of your world.
It seemed beautiful. You are lucky.

You’re not from around here, are you?
You’re outside.

Please stay. I can fix this. I can find a way, I know it. Just stay with me.

Stop saying what?

That would be bad for your health, Paul. Of course I don’t want that.
comment in response to

Your father is 38. Unless there’s something I don’t know about, the math doesn’t make sense. None of this makes sense.
I thought I fixed it. I thought I fixed everything. Are you an anomaly? Are you real? God, I don’t even know anymore.
comment in response to
post
Why what?
comment in response to
post
I had thought… oh god, I thought you were stable. I thought I would have more time.
How are you here? Why…? How do I keep you here with me? I don’t want to lose you again. I don’t want you to go back.
comment in response to
post
Are you the other one? The- the one calling herself Celeste.
Where have you come from? Are you hurt? Do you need anything?
Just say the word.
comment in response to
post
It’s not me. I don’t look like that. That’s Hershel Layton (from the future.)
comment in response to
post
I wasn’t aware Hershel had any other children.
The stream…? But that’s… er- well. Everything should have been resolved. I thought perhaps the anomalies were contained to myself and Claire. It seems the collateral of my mistake was far larger than I knew.
How old are you?
comment in response to
post
This… alright, Paul. I admit the memories of my original timeline are a bit fuzzy. But I am well aware of what I’ve done.
This man is entirely separate from my… old persona. He looks nothing like me.

Are you my Claire? What on earth happened to you?
comment in response to

‘Weird time stuff’? Could you perhaps elaborate?
comment in response to

…Claire?
comment in response to

Keep my name out of this, Paul. I don’t know why you think Mr. Layton (from the future) and I are the same person.
comment in response to

Same for you, then. No getting up too early.
comment in response to

Only if you do the same.
comment in response to

You’re coming with me, then. Back to bed for the both of us. The tea is done anyway, perhaps it will soothe some of the nerves.
comment in response to
post
I suppose I won’t be getting much sleep then for the rest of the night, ahaha… I’ll be here for you. Don’t worry.
comment in response to
post
I’m afraid that you will remember how much it all hurt.
And I’m afraid you’ll remember our original timeline fully. The one where you still love Hershel and bore witness to my… obsession with you. I went about it in the wrong way.
I couldn’t stand the thought of losing you again. I still can’t.
comment in response to
post
I don’t mean to sound controlling. You have autonomy here, and if you wish to look into your memories, for whatever reason, I won’t stop you. I just know that some of them are painful, and I don’t want you to retraumatize yourself.
I want this to stop too. It’s less than pleasant.
comment in response to
post
I’ll make some tea before we go back to bed. It might help a little.
Do you really want to remember it? I know I’ve been saying that it’s best to not try remembering, but would it help you?
They are your memories after all. I can’t tell you what to do.

Lay down at the very least. It will do you some good.
You’re shaking. Are you sure it was just a dream?
comment in response to

If I go to bed, you’re coming with me. You need more sleep.

Hush, you. You’re still awake as well.
