[For those familiar with Jiang Feng? Well, Wuque looks like an exact clone of him as he figures out how to turn on the video. For awhile he's been keeping to himself but this post... It's confusing to him honestly and he feels the best thing to do is to reach out to talk to people about it.]

I wish to apologize for my ignorance in advance. However the recent...post? I'm not sure I fully understand what it is trying to say.

[Lifting his hands up, he offers a polite bow to the camera.]

If one with greater knowledge would be so kind, I would like to understand better what it is meant by time loops and paradoxes. Thank you. I will appreciate any knowledge that can be provided.

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it's trying to say.

[ He doesn't like not knowing either. That was bothersome on its own. ]

Do you remember anything from when you first got here, didi?

[gentlemandisciple]

I only recall the time we have been here. If we were here before I have to memory of it.

[And that, quite frankly, distresses him even as he tries to keep himself together.]

[raisedinchaos]

I have no memory of it either if we've been here before. If we were then what version of ourselves was?

[gentlemandisciple]

I'm not sure I understand it at all. Would this...repetition apply to our world as well then? Would we have lived those memories more than once?

[raisedinchaos]

I'm not sure I like the idea of having lived those memories more than once. We went through enough, as it is.

[gentlemandisciple]

The idea of having watched you die more than once...

[He looks down.]

I don't want that, gege.

[raisedinchaos]

Where are you?

[ Even if it's possible that he knows where his twin was. ]

[gentlemandisciple]

The roof of the building we live in.

[He'd wanted the fresh air after presenting his inquiry.]

[video => action]

[raisedinchaos]

[ Nothing more is said to that statement. Now that he knows where his brother is, he'd already known, he heads up to the roof and drapes himself over his twin. ]

[gentlemandisciple]

[Wuque is just standing there looking over the edge. He's standing as he usually would, one hand before him holding his fan, the other behind him. However there's a sign of his discomfort in how the fingers of that hand shift now and then.

Still, he turns to face his brother the moment his foot touches the roof so he can greet him.]

[raisedinchaos]

[ Xiaoyu doesn't even hesitate to practically throw himself at his brother, arms wrapping around him, especially noting that discomfort. He would get his twin out of his head one way or another.

For now, however, Wuque might want to put the device away or everyone will see just how at ease with each other the two of them are. Not that Xiaoyu would care, but his brother might. ]

[gentlemandisciple]

[His device is already stowed away. A good thing too because he suddenly needs his arms free to catch his brother and make sure they don't go falling off the edge of the building together.

Still, the sudden affection makes him smile and he lets his embrace strengthen once he knows they're balanced.]

(( The face on the other side the screen is equal parts worried and confused. ))

If you learn anything about that, would you mind sharing?

[gentlemandisciple]

I am not sure what it is that I can learn but I give my word that I will share what I can.

[diabolique]

Likewise. Seems like we're all in this together.

[gentlemandisciple]

Agreed. We will be stronger if we keep this in mind.

[diabolique]

Exactly! I'm sure if all put our minds to it, we can find a way through this.

[gentlemandisciple]

That is my hope, of course. I would very much like to protect the memories that are precious to those around me. We have all seen so much.

[diabolique]

Even a year is a lot of time to lose.

[gentlemandisciple]

Even a day would not be so easy. I have no wish for an entire year.

Hey my guy, have I got news for you.

[ Here is this gal with a wave to the camera. ]

First of all, time loops and paradoxes are confusing as shit. So it's totally cool if you couldn't keep up with that, it's a lot.

But basically what it comes down to, is apparently if too many of us wish we could've done things differently we're gonna go into rewind mode. Basically, as if this whole past year didn't happen and we won't remember any of it.

[gentlemandisciple]

I see. That can be difficult for some to do. I know of some who hold such regrets in their lives.

[He frowns some then looks to her again.]

Is this really the only way to avoid this...rewind?

[getstoned]

You and me both my guy, I tried to tell the scientist that but all they said is that you gotta give 'em something to look forward to.

[ There was that slight shrug to the camera ]

I'm just relaying what I learned by talking to them. I guess they just want us to YOLO it or something.

[gentlemandisciple]

I was not even sure where to begin by talking to them. So I am truly grateful that you spoke to them to learn what you could.

[He offers her a polite bow.]

Thank you for sharing this with me.

[ He could sneak and impose himself upon his sons, but holds himself back for now. Instead he settles for this, even if it's a bit colder because he's not right there with them. ]

All I know of these time loops is that they have made it possible for us to meet. I have no memory of any past times here.

[gentlemandisciple]

They did make it possible. I know I would be grateful to have the chance a hundred times over. So, rather, it is the other parts of it that concern me, father.

[Because he knows the weight of the regret his father carries.]
