[Keeping this audio for now- he's not the previous iteration of him who was here before, he's the older and improved version.

Thank Aurora for that.

But he's going to play it carefully for now, not tip his hand just yet to see what he can find out about whatever trouble his past self was getting into.]

It's a pleasure to be here again- I've been told it's been a few weeks but apparently, time doesn't work the same way. If my math is correct, what has been weeks here has been years for me.

[And there is the whole different timelines/worlds thing but the one reassuring thing is that his alternate self is out there somewhere also making stupid reckless life choices.]

But I'm curious if anyone has experienced anything related to alternate timelines and parallel worlds- bonus points if you've met an alternate version of yourself either from another world or time.

The differences seem minimal from what I've learned so far but I'm concerned that those small changes could add up and cause the future to be drastically different.

Or worse, lead to a future where our world is destroyed anyway.


[He has faith in Cloud but he fears if there is one world were Sephiroth wins, that's all it would take if he finds a way to other timelines.]

I haven't been able to pinpoint a single event or single time period where the timelines diverged but I can't help but wonder what that would be now.

Yes. Our point of divergence - if it is a single point, I do not know - seems to be several years in the past, and it has compounded to produce very different memories.

Why would your world be destroyed?

Do the same people exist in all versions of the world of which you are aware? That might be a clue.

[ambitiousblond]

If there is one single point or general time where worlds split it would most likely in the past of the one individual whose motivation to destroy our world is consistent between each timeline.

And my concern is that if he succeeds in one timeline it would be only a matter of time before he finds a way to traverse between worlds.

But that's only a theory that I can't confirm yet, not without more evidence from anyone else arriving from my world.
