Up above the hole in the ground, Ira is speaking to her watch:
"Are you certain?"
"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that you said we didn't do this until after..."
"But this reduces our advantage-"
Quiet, then: "I think the other me's might've. Been wrong about stuff. I don't think it's - playing by physics."
"I think you're right. Not much of any of this is... Scientifically sound."
She nods. "The - symbol with Josephine. The dreams. Ant. It's all - Twelve thought math applied."
"I mean. Twelve was...pretty paranoid. But this?" she gestures vaguely back at her shoulder with her head. "This doesn't make sense either."
"Yeah. You can kind of pretend time travel obeys physics, but - I don't think that does. It's - a different set of rules, if it's any rules at all."
"It would be nice if it did. But-" Jenn sighs. "This thing is definitely not constrained by the laws we are- were?"
And Elizabeth starts to approach. "Hey. We found a medical kit. Isn't much, but..."
"Another nonsensical thing," Bina says, shifting so Elizabeth can get to work on making Jenn's shoulder at least look less gruesome. "I think ey's avoiding the blood, though."
"If you're not going to die I'd actually like you to shower before we bind this," Elizabeth says. "So we don't run out of supplies, and so you're moderately less likely to get a major infection. I'm not sure how - whatever - will handle septic shock."
"There's houses all around. We're in front of the laundromat right now, and most of the rest of this is residential."
She climbs carefully to her feet and heads in the direction of that house.
She's pretty sure she doesn't need the help, but she expects Bina would completely ignore her if she tried to claim that. Anyway! Great shower finding mission! They don't need to contend with door locks do they?
Apparently not, but there's signs someone's gone through and picked this lock already.
"I told you about that party, right? I guess other me's might've gotten better at it."
