"Which is more than enough time for them all to drown."

"Yes, so either you make it to the final four and he's already rescued for that duration, or we will make sure you can afford some resurrections."

"Why do you want me in particular, for this, you seem - spoiled for choice."

"I've been told there's a chart, and in the notes section for your row is written 'I want to be nice to him'?  By our psychic consultant.  I'm not quite sure how it relates; he's very strangely targeted."

"Who is it who wants to be nice to me, the psychic consultant?"

"It was really unclear.  I also heard you have some sort of curse situation, though; it might have been about that."

"...I'm not aware of having a curse. I'm not charmed either, most people aren't..."

"You know how I said there are a lot of worlds and many of them are repeats and variations of each other?"

"I believe you mentioned this when trying to convince me it's fine if his highness dies."

"Yep!  So, sometimes people repeat - sometimes pretty exactly, but sometimes less so.  Same personality, different circumstances.

"It's always true that if an alternate version of you exists in a world with an alternate version of Cymbeline, and you're capable of romantic love, you'll love him, or her, and he or she will be unable to reciprocate due to, specifically, incompatible sexuality.  Every time."

"Why would that be true??"

"There are a great number of very strange things like that which pop up when you start to look at a sufficient number of universes.  We don't know why.  - The psychic probably knows why but he hasn't explained it.  Yours is far from the cruelest strange thing around, although you do have my condolences - apparently living mes are cursed to commit atrocities whenever they try to make any sort of sacrifice for the greater good."

"Living yous -"

"I can assume I'm safely dead.  I do have a fair bit of my own psychic power; it just doesn't really rate in comparison.  Apparently that replaces the curse upon death, according to the stronger psychic who is also one of me.  ...Or, many of me; it's complicated."

"Is this the kind of thing I need to be getting up to speed on and you just prefer to start with saffron chicken dumplings because they're simpler?"

"They really are so much simpler than many of the things you need to get up to speed on, which this is not particularly one of."

"Is there a list?"

"Yes!"  He chucks his McFlurry into a bush, except for how it dissolves into sparkles before hitting it, much more quickly than it formed - in order to clap twice.  A pamphlet appears, covered in strange print with lots of colors and pictures that sometimes move.  Journey offers it.  "There are places to sit down both back inside and out here, if you'd like."  The pamphlet explains things like 'cameras' and 'reality TV' and 'episodes' and 'Rose Ceremonies'.

Kerem finds a bench and plops onto it.

It also explains 'group dates', 'one on ones', 'two on ones'... 'destinations', 'Hometowns', 'Fantasy Suites'..."

"His highness counts as though he's a family member, you've implied?"

"He's clearly very important to you.  It might be different if he weren't drowning."

"He is also important to me when he isn't drowning."

"And yet it might be different."

"I see. ...if my parents are also there, that is going to be all a bit awkward."
