Edie was perusing the latest correspondence from her fork. She still should have been paying enough attention to realize that the door didn't go where it ought before it swung shut and she couldn't sense anyone else anymore, but she wasn't.
After opening and closing the door a couple times to make sure she hadn't just been abducted somehow, she looks around.
"And we will find every corner of the multiverse where that can happen and we will scour them of Melkors and everything else, and in a very long time we will be the only people alive who remember when there was such a thing as pointless suffering."
"Your world got Edie and Emily and got its awful history averted and Singularity got Cam and got it's awful history averted and Ozymandias got us and we just died without saving anyone."
"It kind of sounds like that was the fault of my family, honestly."
"I mean, far be it from me to deter anyone from deciding that literally all of history is their responsibility, because that would be very hypocritical. But I am pretty sure -" Sigh. "I am pretty sure Matt doesn't want anyone to care about him because he was able to drag his people along with him into the wars, and because they can't admire and trust him anymore and so he can't convince himself they care about him on his merits, and because if enough people want him alive then it stops being right to die. But if he'd get over that I think he'd be very glad of the time he had with you, and glad you get more of it."
"I don't think literally all of history is my responsibility I just have enough negative emotions that my brain is shunting them into areas that don't make sense like guilt."
"...look, I have mixed feelings here because I am very sure that the right thing for Matt is to let him die, but - if we find a world that's complicated, and you go there with him, and ask him to help you fix it, I am pretty sure that once it's fixed he'll ask where the next one needing help is."
Hugs. "I should probably take the risk of interrupting Idaia and Tyelcormo to tell her about the six months thing."
"Wish me luck. I know the Quendi thing is wishing skill but I'm far more concerned about the chance aspect of catching them outside a...delicate...moment than any kind of skill in explaining."
"May your explanation arrive when your sister is unoccupied."
"People were interrogating Bar and it's only been six months in Kilaiuossa since we left."
"...I still don't know that I wanna go back. Definitely not if there isn't a way to come back, just--there's things I remember fondly that I thought were millenia dust...if I could show you and Artemis the house I grew up in, that one river Mama used to go to for field work..."
"...I wonder if our luggage is retrievable. Probably not, but..."
