I think she had been silent for so long all her thoughts were bubbling up inside her and they finally burst out. It's funny, sometimes she narrates what I'm doing: \"Remy is opening the cupboard, he's looking inside, now he's getting plates out.\" In an odd way, her voice voice reminds me of..."

-    c "No, I told her you were looking to adopt. I know she called you because in another timeline, I didn't tell you about Adine's work at the orphanage. In that timeline, you killed yourself. I was going to take a PDA to you at work. You weren't there, so I went to your house to drop it off and I saw you hanging from the ceiling. I must have remembered that timeline because in this one, there was a voice telling me to tell you about the adoption in the back of my mind. Now I know why."

     c "You can't change the past, Remy. I wish I could help you bring her back, but you can't. If we went back that far, it would completely destabilize this timeline and all the work I've done here, all the hundreds of deaths I've died, would be for nothing. I'm sorry, but she's gone and you'll never get her back."
     Ry normal "I could at least try."
-    c "In one timeline, Vara died. She snuck out and followed us to the Portal and was shot by Reza. I don't even know what I did to prevent that this time. If we went back to save your fiancee, you might not have been there to greet me when I came out of the Portal. Then I'd never met you and I never would have had a reason to help you go back and save her. Major changes like that can cause paradoxes we don't even understand."

Even if they were as insipid and useless as watching a number increase on a screen. It felt like I had achieved something, even if I knew it was insipid and artificial as the in-game sprites. And the harder it was, the more accomplished I felt. That's why I was so angry when you ruined my progress. I felt I had lost hundreds of hours of my life, and realizing that made me realize what a useless waste of time it was."
