Nothing of Any Particular Importance

"The world's full of pretty wenches, but a good friend? Once you find one, you have to hold onto him!"

had a vision of henry seeing a poorly photoshopped cat and getting so scared of what he saw & not being able to handle it

anyway i'm p sure a random stranger on the road sold this to him and said it was real so now he has to warn hans and also the world

Like, yeah you do get to flirt with your childhood friends if you want to, but also you have to hide debilitating visions of future events from all your loved ones, scramble to rescue your childhood friend before she dies in a fucked-up accident when you're seven, try and fail and fail and FAIL to save [REDACTED] from dying in every timeline, watch the unfolding effects of childhood trauma on your friends, scour the alien landscapes for enough food to keep your colony from starving, spend MONTHS in the field and in the xenobiology lab to cure your dad's increasingly-severe medical issues, grapple with loss, deal with fascists, hopefully stage a coup, intentionally expose yourself to radiation, and nearly/actually get eaten by giant alien megafauna.

henry: well, sir. it all started when we got ambushed-

twenty minutes later:

henry: and then they asked me to sneak into the carpenter's house at troskovitz and steal a lute-

jobst: what does this have to do with von bergo-

another twenty minutes later:

henry: and the hermit in apollonia was actually DEAD this WHOLE TIME and there was just ANOTHER guy pretending to BE the hermit n order to fulfill the original hermit's dying wish.

jobst: henry, please-

FORTY minutes later:

henry: so then it turns out that von bergow was just using us to do his dirty work the WHOLE TIME, we got captured, i killed istvan, we escaped, and now im. here.
