[ This time there's a pause before any response comes. A genuine one while he turns over those words carefully and several times over. It's a simplicity that, Claude has to admit to himself, not many of his paths of thought have followed when trying to figure out those plans for plans upon plans to consider it all for the future. Then again, maybe in sorting through it all he'd focused a bit too much on that ominous message he'd discovered in the Horizon as a surety.
Perhaps it'd be better to keep other things in mind as Steve has reminded him rather smoothly. As he exhales a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding in, that feels like relief. Another path to send his mind down, anyway. ]
You're right. Someone else from Fodlan pointed out much the same during the brief time he was here, that just because we knew of the differences between our memories that didn't mean there weren't an infinite number of other ways everything could have played out from even one single change.
I suppose the same will have to prove true for whether we have centuries ahead of us even if some kind of godhood isn't involved. Decades would have been surprising even with knowing that we're here until we leave. But does give us a chance to change some of it even if it seems like the nations themselves will face their own changes when that's another path we're all on.
