[Danny wasn't sure if he'd believed in destiny before this. But the idea of some future version of yourself coming back to make your life follow the same path. Well, he'd had more than a few nightmares about that.

Also apparently there was a ghost who controlled time. Only marginally less terrifying, solely because it seemed like he'd taken a liking to his other self.]

Yeah, I.... Is it strange to say that that makes it worse in some ways? Even if was the exact same future I'd know what to watch for. But I have no idea what the trigger could be now.

[Apart from being left alone. But the reason for that, it could be anything. An accident, an attack. And maybe Danny had developed quite a lot of anxiety and an urge to constantly check up on his friends because of that. But it was probably fine. Maybe it was even useful paranoia, considering everything that had happened.]

....Thanks. But tell me if I'm bothering you, okay?

[droptheious]

...Yeah I guess that's true. But again, I don't think it's your destiny. I think being in a different world, a different you changes that.

[He's going to steadfastly refuse to believe in destiny, so there!!!]

Of course, I will, but trust me, I can handle it. You don't have to worry, there. I want to help.

[schrodingersghost]

I just hope it changes it enough.

[droptheious]

I'm absolutely sure it will. I'd bet on it.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny only wished he could be that confident about this.]

I hope you're right.

[He draws himself back onto the bench. Normally at a time like this he would try to distract himself. Make a dumb joke. Go and play video games or stargaze or anything not to think about everything that was and could go wrong.

But right now he honest just didn't have the energy for it. He was just tired.]

[droptheious]

[Varian watching Danny draw into himself, his brow furrowed. He hates seeing Danny like this. So withdrawn, so quiet. He wants to be able to pull his friend out of this funk, to give him some sort of assurance - but what can you do to make this any better? It's just gonna...dangle over his head, no matter how much Varian can assure him that he'll remain.

He can't make this better, but maybe he can make it bearable.

He reaches out to put a hand on Danny's shoulder, offering a small smile. ]

Hey. You look pretty beat, you wanna stay over at mine and Fern's tonight? We've still got that spare room. You can just...take some time for yourself.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny contemplates going home for a long moment.

He could go home. He could. His parents tried, at least. That mattered. Even if they didn't really understand him any more. And it was beginning to feel less and less like home.

But as he thinks about it, he can't help but dread the idea of spending another night alone with this thoughts, while not being able to say a word about it.]

...I'd appreciate that. You sure I won't be a bother?

[droptheious]

Of course, you won't be a bother. We've got more than enough space for you to come and lounge around if you need it.

[schrodingersghost]

In that case I'd really appreciate it.

[His smile is small, but sincere. He didn't really want to talk about his issues with his parents (and the issue with the memories he's had with his other parents. But... the chance to put it off for even a night. It helped.]
