Learning to Love Time Loops Without Going Insane

“You’re sure it’s time?” A woman seated at the dinner table asked.

“Absolutely. I can feel my looping twin’s connection getting weaker. Soon, he will start on his destiny to become me. And that means they are on their way here.” Ralth answered.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Why cook them an amazing meal, of course? It will be an amazing reunion for me. Their joy at seeing me again will come much later. Time is a strange thing.”

“And then what?”

“And then my brother’s training begins. He has so very much to catch up on if he ever plans to fight the Gryalth directly.”

“Well, at least I know you are a wonderful cook, though I still wish I could be here when he arrives.”

“It’s far too dangerous. I have a limited view of the future, but I know you have not entered the picture yet from my experience. Adding you now could change too much. Imagine a paradox where I never existed, then just who would save you?”

“Alright, alright, your point has been made.”

“Good. Albert, it’s time. Please go summon our friends.”
