It seems so. I have met people with several others they knew here at least, and one whose brother is here. [and all the dramas that can cause. it sounds like rose doesn't have the same drama at least with her daughter, aside from this odd age difference that has him lifting his brow.]

Well, I suppose if she was a child when you knew her and older now that is better? Having a child here... [not ideal! still.] That must have been quite the adjustment, regardless. I admit I find the idea of learning the future unsettling.

[some here seem to find peace in it but viktor can't help but think it's a dangerous thing, both to know and to dwell on. better to focus on the now, at the very least.

funnily enough when she says that viktor blinks and realizes... well, yes? his hand goes to the edge where the mushrooms eat skin, thoughtful.] Now that you mention it I suppose these do. Fascinating, it would make sense if the power or magics around this are pulling from some mental reserve of the person they are effecting. You are right, internal struggles do seem to be a favorite of the Trench.

I find that incredibly irritating. [let them have their weird hang ups in peace!!]
