Hey! This is Max, though probably most of you don't know me. I've been kind of a lurker on here for the most part. But I wanted to ask a question of my own, if everyone's cool with that.

So here goes, I guess:

I know some of us seem to have some powers during our particular moon phase, but I wanted to talk about possible powers you guys might have had before coming here? Back in your own world.

Specifically though, I'm interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with manipulating time, and any possible consequences you know of that came with using that power. First-hand experience or otherwise, either would be useful.

Thanks!

I guess that's a pretty healthy way of looking at it. But it's harder to accept something when you're worried it might have been your fault, the result of something you'd done that caused something really bad to happen, that hurt a lot of other people.

To be honest though, even if it was my fault, I'm with you in that I wouldn't change it. I made a choice and the results were both good and bad, but the alternative wasn't really an option. At least, not for me.

[Maybe if it had been up to someone else, even a Max from another timeline, they may have made a different choice. But it had all been in her hands. She wasn't willing to sacrifice one person just on the gamble that maybe it could have saved a lot of others.]

Just because something is difficult to accept does not make it impossible to do so.

When you say you had a choice, however, I take it we are not talking strictly in hypotheticals any longer.

You're right, about both things. There are choices I made that may have led to something awful happening. Isn't that the reason most people want to mess with time? To stop something awful from happening, or to change it?

Indeed. Yet, as I mentioned previously, there is a possibility of making things even worse. Does that not worry you?
