Second Misfortune - [voice/action]

[devourthemfirst]

[After a short trip to the grocery store, Czes comes back to the fifth floor of building seven and sets out the box of spaghetti and can of tomato sauce out on the counter.  Despite how Firo made him paranoid about eating the food here, the kid has to eat something.  

So as he puts a pot of water on the stove for himself then sits down at a near by table.  He stares out the kitchen window for a few minutes, watching the storm outside when boredom strikes him and he pulls out his journal]

You know, it's strange. To think that a lot of us are from 'Earth' and yet they're not the same 'Earth' that each of us are familiar with.  For example, someone could be from... I don't know, let's say Tokyo since a bunch of you appear to be from Japan, but it won't be the same Tokyo you know.  In some way, it'll be different.

Things never happened the way one person knows it did in their version of Tokyo.

What would that be called again... parallel universes, right?

[He places some of the spaghetti into the pot of boiling water and turns down the stove a little]

So do you think that there might be like... another version of us on our different versions of 'Earth'? It's kind of exciting to think about actually.  They'd have different memories, friends and maybe family...

I wonder what would happen if we ran into our other selves on this trip the Malnosso were talking about.

Would the universe just go BOOM? [He throws his hands into the air then chuckles a bit to himself]

Well, it was just a thought.  [ ... ] What would you do if you could meet another version of yourself?  Would you envy them for having a different life--for being set on a different path?

Hmmm, I guess there's nothing preventing another "me" from existing elsewhere...

...What if he's not in love with Celty?!

[Shinra, stop talking to yourself.]

This is actually an idea that has been utilized in experiments in the past. Some of us have had our memories temporarily altered to believe that certain events we experienced turned out differently, sometimes causing radical changes to our pasts.

Of course, those were merely memories. But absolutely nothing says that worlds like that cannot exist out there in some form.

[voice] ffffuuu fine fine--

[...That boom thing was adorable, Czes. And though he couldn't have seen it, it did make Hayate smile. This is the kid who lives next door to Hayate, isn't it? He hasn't really gotten the chance to talk to him before...

But first thing's first! About this "another version of yourself" thing...]

A-ah... Actually, I do happen to know of someone like that who's here! Or at least, he looks a lot like me. [But he's ruuuuude.]

...Askin' the tough questions, aren'tcha?

I doubt it'd be much more exciting than you simply confusing them.

Ah, it's you. [ Souji doesn't remember your name, SORRY KID. ]

You know there's another one of me here. [ Even though it's still really weird to think about. ]

[And here is someone who can actually sounds as if she knows what she's talking about.]

It is not necessarily true that touching an alternate version of yourself will result in any detrimental effects. However, certain species are more susceptible than others, and it is a possibility under specific circumstances.

I've already met people that might be alternate versions of ones I know. They look similar, and come from the same places, but have different names and accomplishments.

[....

not even touching the "another you" part of that]
