...yeah. [He forces a grin for her.] I think we can probably do that...like maybe the fact the weekend's almost over? That's worth celebrating.

[uncurtained]

Yeah. No more worrying about people seeing things you don't want them to, right?

[Memory sharing is bad, actually.]

[crashout]

God. [YEAH? THAT'S BAD.] Kinda felt like everywhere I went I ended up bumping into somebody else's memories. I have too many of my own, I don't need or, no offense, want to see theirs.

...how bad was the rest of your week?

[uncurtained]

...Other than getting hit in the face with an axe?

[It shouldn't come out as a joke, but. There's at least a light edge to it.]

[crashout]

[AN EYEROLL.]

At least your sense of humor's in tact. [Which is actually a relief.] I meant memory-wise, y'know.

[uncurtained]

Right.

[There's a small smile, before she moves on.]

Some people got the same memory you did... Some people got things about my dad.

[crashout]

...awkward. [Given what he knows about her dad.] If it makes you feel better, a lot of people saw me die in a bunch of horrible ways, so.

[uncurtained]

[She laughs, though it's more surprised than amused in any way.]

Why would that make me feel better?

[crashout]

I don't know, for comparison? [One shitty and awkward thing versus another, he means.] Explaining memories to everyone has been kind of a pain in the ass because of the timelines.

[uncurtained]

You having to deal with it too doesn't make me feel better.

[It does, at least a little, but she feels a little bad saying that.]

But - god, yeah, I bet that gets tough. How many different timelines have you had to explain?

[crashout]

[It's fine? Please feel better about it because he Knows how stupid it all is.]

Misery loves company. Pretty sure there were at least four or five? Trying to sort them all out started getting complicated.

[uncurtained]

I'd rather happiness loved company, in this case.

[Implying either of them have been happy since they came here!! Anyways.]

Maybe you should give each of them a code name.

[crashout]

You're a dreamer, Beck. It's one of the nice things about you. [It's a gentle tease, but...hah.]

Believe it or not I've definitely come up with a couple of names for them based on what I do remember. Not that any of them are particularly cheerful.

[uncurtained]

You think saying we can be happy is a dream?

[She breathes out a sigh.]

Yeah... I can imagine they aren't, from what I've heard.

[crashout]

No, no it's not that. It's just...y'know. Happiness can be fleeting and all that. But I guess there's always one timeline where everything works out. That's the one I have to focus on more than ever, and the one all of us should be working for.
