...Not while here. [ Not yet. Hasn't stopped though, has it? ] But I will continue to, when I go back.

[fried]

[ a pause. ]

Can you not move to another timeline to stop it?

[punnier]

[ immediate: ] No. I can't.

[ ... ] I do that, and my fam.. my friends, they won't make it. They'll die.

[fried]

How do you know...?

[punnier]

..I've seen what happens. When I'm not there. The King overpowers and kills them all.

[fried]

[ hmmmm. ]

So then, you need to overpower this King then, yes?

[punnier]

[ Shake of their head, staring out further down the tracks. ]

It isn't that simple. I already have. It doesn't change, the loop just restarts again. There's.. something I'm missing. Has to be.

[fried]

[ his ear flicks, and then: ]

I'm sorry, Siffrin. [ that sounds like it sucks, and he has no idea how to even begin to fix it. ]

[punnier]

Nothing to be sorry for. ..As I said before, I've gotten used to it.

[ No choice but to be. ]

[fried]

[ his tail brushes against sif's side. ]

You shouldn't have to be. [ ... ] And it doesn't change the fact that you've lost people today.

[punnier]

[ There's movement from inside their cloak, like they might reach to brush it back but they hold themselves still. ]

..We've all lost people today. And we'll lose even more by the end of the week.. and even more in the following week. [ What else is there to do, but get used to it? Why suffer from the pain of it at this point? ]
