[Of everyone who could have stopped by to bother him, Yun probably didn't even make the list, yet here she is. She had knew just enough to leave the Silverberg brothers be during the past week. It would have been a chore to convince Caesar that he wasn't from another world and, well, she could assume Albert figured it out all on his own!

But she is going to take the time to check up on them, so here she is, standing a polite distance away and watching him work on his garden for a quiet minute or two. Of course, she chooses to speak up before he just notices her observing him, since it'd be a little weird if she didn't...]

Is everything back to normal here, too?

[As normal as normal could be here, anyway.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert pauses in his work at the question, glancing over his shoulder at the young girl. He remains expressionless for a moment, as if trying to figure out why exactly she was there, before he returns his attention to clearing out weeds under the azalea bush.]

Things are back to normal, yes. You were not affected this past week?

[tolivefortoday]

[There isn't exactly much else for her to do in the aftermath other than check on people and if Albert is normal again, then Caesar must be as well. She won't even have to look in on him, then.]

I wasn't, even though I did go to another world. That seemed a little strange with how many other people were affected from that...

[chikaidestroyer]

[That's worth a longer pause. There were always people who would be affected differently by these experiments, but this was the first mentioned to him in person.]

Perhaps you were fortunate. Having additional memories combined with your own is rather disorienting.

[...He says to the seer.]

[tolivefortoday]

Perhaps.

[The irony of his statement isn't lost on her, but for the sake of not confusing him -- or worse, having to explain -- she won't laugh at it.]

But I think I'll always wonder what I would have been like if I had grown up in Japan, or who Rise may have become if she'd come from our world.

[chikaidestroyer]

The possibilities are interesting, yes. They do keep one wondering long after the shift has ended.

[The trouble with having memories of the shift intact.]

Depending on one's preference, they may even start desiring one of those possibilities.

[tolivefortoday]

That's not surprising. There's plenty of people here who wouldn't mind a new start somewhere else, but that could get complicated...

[Worlds already have enough potential timelines without people deciding to drop out and leave gaping holes in those! Not that those would be any of her business, not unless it happened to her own world. But that was stable enough to handle one missing little spirit, wasn't it?

She falls silent a moment, idly considering asking if he's ever preferred one of those possibilities, but no. She won't. She's only a random child from the Grasslands to him, not someone to be asking such personal questions.]

Do you think we'll ever see something like that again? The world anchoring, I mean. That seemed too big to only mess around with once.

[chikaidestroyer]

[He frowns at the question. While he would prefer not to go through such an experience again, this was unfortunately Luceti, and thus what one would hope was a fluke could happen again.]

The possibility is there, certainly; now that the information is out there, there may be attempts to recreate the original intent of the experiment. And with those attempts come the possibility of mistakes like this.

...One can only hope not to be here whenever those attempts are made.

[tolivefortoday]

[Unless one is unlucky enough to have nothing to go back to.]

Or perhaps one of them will get it right. Though, the mistakes do have an endless possibility when it involves so many different worlds.

[chikaidestroyer]

That is likely the reason why there has been such little headway in terms of that research; with so many worlds represented, there are many possible errors that must be dealt with. [But why is he discussing this with such a young child? There was little point.]
