If I could have figured out how to move between one reality and another sooner, perhaps I would have more friends and patrons by now. It'd be nice, but it doesn't keep me awake at night.
...Not that I sleep as mortals do, but it's a nice turn of phrase all the same.
Maybe there was a way to bring my family around to my point of view, and I just never found the right words to persuade them. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to change, a little, but not at so high a cost.
Regrets are for those with ample memory. As for me, I can't regret that which I can't recall. I do know why my memory lacks, though, and I suppose I regret that occurrence to some extent.
I've spoken about it before, but yeah. The woman in powered armor who attacked me. I broke her armor to stop her. Turns out the armor was also her life support.
I don't know what I should have done differently, but it seems like there must be something I overlooked, some escape clause that would have made everything turn out right. Better. More heroic. Maybe there wasn't.
But what if there was? How would I know if there was?
