It Seems That My Departure Was Not Long Lived By Which I Mean I Have Returned To The Tower
Things Appear To Be In The Same Conditions As They Were When I Was Sent Home
Forgive Me I Have No Information On How To Return Home Or What I Did To Deserve Being Sent Home
I Have Even Less Information On Why I Have Returned
I Would Appreciate Being Filled In
What Has Occurred In My Absence And Has the Pattern Or Small Horror than Large Horror Repeated Again
Have We Found New Ways To Prepare Ourselves
This May Seem Like Many Questions For Someone Who Has Just Arrived So Let Me Introduce Myself
I Am Kanaya Maryam And I Have Been Here Before
How Much Time Has Passed Between My Departure And My Arrival I Am Unsure Of Although There Must Be People Here To Fill In That Gap

Has Everyone Been As Well As They Can Be While In The Tower

Oh. Oh! No, I mean. The other other one. There's another Eridan that's not the one from your wworld, I think. He's pretty nice from wwhat I heard.

[Eridan feels stupid. Then again, this misunderstanding is entirely his fault. It usually is, so at least this is nothing new.]

You wwant to hear about Kan?

[Eridan looks a bit lost at that. Huh. What can he say about Kan? He shrugs.]

She's... she's pretty amazin. I don't think wwe could'vve survvivved the session wwithout her.

[OH. That makes sense] Ah, forgive me, I knew another Eridan, I did not remember him. I would much rather compare you to that Eridan to the one of my timeline. He is not the kindest.

I hope you do not mind telling me about her.

[a nod]

She was very important to your session then? I don't think I was.

Evveryone's important to the session.

[There's an odd sort of conviction to his voice. Trust him, no timeline could survive without one of the others missing. He knows that much at least. He tilts his head to the side, realizing he sounds a bit too forceful.]

Maybe you just don't realize howw much?

[she seems far away]

I had my role in the session but I cannot say I fulfilled it. [a pause] I had two roles, actually, neither of them were completed.

[Eridan smiles; it's wry and small and sad.]

I knoww the feelin, believve me.

[He shakes his head.]

Evven so, wwho knowws? Sometimes it takes a wwhile to realize you didn't really screww up as much as you thought you did. Sometimes you wweren't meant to do all the stuff you thought you did.

Because Karkat rushed me with the frog breeding and deemed it unimportant we doomed the species that we created. Then Eridan, the Eridan of my timeline, destroyed the matriorb we could have used to restart troll society. Both of my tasks were crucial and by leaving one incomplete and another destroyed, I doomed two races.

[This is half reflex, half genuine sympathy. Eridan can't handle sad Kanayas. He's not designed for it. :(]

I'm. I'm sorry.

You hold no fault, especially as we are from different timelines, but I appreciate your attempt to comfort me.

I knoww it doesn't mean much, comin from me an all, but its not ovver yet, is it? The game likes to play that wway, givvin you exactly the opposite of wwhat you expect.

[He shrugs, not looking at her in the eye.]

It's not all lost until you're dead.
