[ That's actually something she's never had to think about before. She stares at the question for a while, so that she doesn't just give some flippant remark to it like all her instincts want to. ]

i'd rather know. the alternative would mean that max would have to deal with all of it alone. and i don't ever want that for her again.

[princessences]

You're a very caring person, Chloe. I don't believe many would make that choice.

[ And Allura wouldn't blame them for it, either. There is bliss in ignorance. The truth can be ugly.

She knows too many ugly truths these days. ]

it's a shitty thing to live through, so i can understand why they wouldn't. i wish so many people weren't finding out first hand here themselves.

[princessences]

That we can learn nothing from this place makes the suffering experienced here all the more pointless.

[ It's...frustrating. To say the least. ]

But...I will take your caution seriously. i am aware of how certain events may drastically alter the course of time, although I'd anticipated it would cause a split and branch off into a new reality rather than continuously altering the same one.

[ She'd accepted that the Shiro of her time would be too late, but perhaps this Shiro could be spared the ordeal. ]

maybe things work different if we leave here by choice. no one's done that yet, so we don't really know, right?

maybe it would when you're not messing with rewinding the same timeline. i don't know. i just don't want to see anything worse happen to you guys just because you're trying to make things better.

[princessences]

No, we don't. There are so many things that remain unconfirmed and untested in this place. To be honest, I'm not sure where to begin with many of them if they are possible at all.

That being said, I can't say. My only experience with a parallel timeline wasn't exactly positive, either. While we may be from different universes, I can't imagine the laws that govern them would be drastically different. Still...

I wouldn't want to put anyone I love in that position. Even with the best of intentions.

[ Max clearly had the best of intentions when it came to Chloe. ]
