Ah, well, that makes this harder.

But what I said is still true... It's a work of fiction. Like a story book, just... more high-tech. That's my reality.

[voltadomar]

Okay...

[Fortunately, he knows 'video' and 'game' as separate concepts, so he's not completely lost. Just... mostly.]

I'm not sure I understand how that's possible. Are you saying that you're a work of fiction, too?

[rerouter]

[Immediately, almost defensively:]

... Yes. But I'm still a person, you know? I'm not just, like, written to act and behave in a certain way.

[voltadomar]

All right. I believe you.

... What about the other people in that vision?

[rerouter]

... They're doing better now. Both of them. I know it looks bad, but I fixed it.

[voltadomar]

How?

Have you ever read a story where one of the main characters was killed off, but they later brought them back because the readers weren't happy with the decision? Well, it's something like that. Retroactive continuity.
