I have a very, very important question.

Was anyone born into a situation similar to the person in their echoes?

And if you remember something happening in your memories that might be something similar to what is happening now... Would you warn people, even if it cost someone their reputation?

I have, in a way. But not the same way as you have probably.

As for whether I'd warn them, it would depend on how big that thing that's happening was. Like if a lot of people would be in danger? I'll probably try to get people to believe me.

[lowres]

What if it might harm someone you care very much about?

[bombgasmic]

Are they going to be doing a bad thing?

[A child's voice, she sounds roughly six]

I don't think that there is much difference between then-me and now-me.

But I don't think you should hurt them, hurting people is bad.

But what he does might hurt a lot more people. If I warn people now, it might keep them safe, but he also hasn't done anything...

[notbloody]

Why don't you talk to the person who might do that?

[charcoalfeather]

I don't know.

My past life is really different than my life now. But... it also feels similar too.

[lowres]

May I ask what you mean?

[charcoalfeather]

Well, things kind of work out the same way here as they do in the other world.

I grew wings just like how it happened in the other world, and my other self was trying to find her memories too.

His reputation is very important, though.

more important than stopping what hes up to?

[hyper_rain]

I do not believe I am the closest to what my echo-self was, but I believe we have similarities?

Did you echo about the Mafia too Nadia?

[lowres]

The mafia? No, nothing like that.

I remembered things about a war.

Uhmmm... I can't say anything's too similar about me and my other self. I mean... We have some things in common but nothing really fully the same.

...Sorry I can't be any more help.

Re: Text

[lowres]

Are there any people in your echoes that remind you of people now?

[onecream_fivesugar]

I can't say I've met anyone that does yet, but it's possible they're around, right?

I'm sure I'll meet them at some point if they are around.

What about you? Anyone like that around for you?

Kind of. Student council, kind of lonely, tryhard. Not that much, though.

I think I would start with the person I knew something about, but if they didn't listen to me... I think I would have to. I wouldn't put people at risk to keep a secret.

Re: [handwritten]

[lowres]

It isn't someone I can talk to.

What if I am wrong about what might happen?

[peacefulwinter]

Then you laugh about it, and everyone goes on with their lives. I wouldn't want to worry everyone about some great catastrophe that won't happen, but I wouldn't want to surprise everyone, either.

We can't have all the answers. But it is our responsibility to make educated decisions with the information we do have. With the information you have, is it wise to go forward with your warning? Or would it be pushing the situation too far? It's even okay to say you don't know yet.

cant say i wwas born into a similar situation from wwhat i can tell
but to answwer your other question it depends on wwhats more important to you
if the person id be wwarnin means more to me than the person wwhos reputation id be annihilatin then id do it
but if the opposite wwere true wwell
id keep my trap sealed

Re: text;

[lowres]

I don't think I can think of people like that. No matter how much I care about either party, they're both valuable people, aren't they?

[yerawizarderi]

i guess
but if you choose to do nothin at all then youre clearly makin your choice aint ya
better make sure wwhat damage youre wwillin to deal wwith is the damage you WWILL be dealin wwith

[drawitagain]

[Furrows his brow, considering thoughtfully.]

I think...you should tell that person. The person who's reputation you might cost.

[lowres]

I have tried speaking with him before. I'm afraid he doesn't want to listen. He thinks we're dangerous... I don't know if he will act on his fears, though, so I would not want to put him in a dangerous position of making others angry against him, and I could cost him his career as well...
