[While it is a bit cowardly to pick a name that cannot be tracked back to her easily, Erina has spent several days thinking and has come to a conclusion.]

I have been skulking about reading here, and I have decided to ask a clarification and perhaps some advice. If you would be so kind, of course.

I seem to have run into two issues. The first being that one is not as steady on her feet as she once thought. Two, if there was an opportunity to not complete what has - allegedly - been completed, then are they at fault for not going through with said alleged ending?

That is to say: I am aware of certain events that have not been completed for me - and, indeed, are completed a good deal into the future. However, if I do not do as has been foreseen, then I might save quite a few people terrible fates. Or at least, enough people. I have read that one does not recall the events which transpire here.

If that is so, then how do you bear knowing what will happen and be helpless about it?

it seems like you have a lot to think about, and while miwako doesn't completely understand i would like to

it's true that when first arriving it's difficult to find your balance i guess you can say... miwako cried so much at first, and am thankful that i made a friend who was patient with that.

so if you don't mind, you can talk to me about anything and we could figure something out together.

That's the sort of thing you have to figure out for yourself. Sometimes there are things you can never change and you just have to accept that it's too late and continue on with whatever options you do have left.

It depends on the nature of one's heart. One inclined to guilt will no doubt react differently than one inclined to simply believe that if there is nothing that can be done there is little point in worrying.

if you already know what is coming, there's hardly much of a chance for you to change things...

yes, time does work differently here than it does in our respective homes, but a difference in the way that time passes doesn't free you from the pull of 'gravity' that existed before or that's still to come.

there's no point in fighting it, let fate do what it's meant to, ultimately you'll find there's a reason for it.

I have run into no instances of time paradoxes up to this point, so I suspect making an effort to change a course would not have much effect.

Or perhaps it would and we wouldn't notice? Let's say someone said I would crash my car on Tuesday because they knew the future, but I refused to leave the house on Tuesday -- certainly not crashing my car -- then perhaps I would not have been told such, but wouldn't notice it disappearing from my memory, because it hadn't happened.

...I suspect I would be torn on how to act in such a case.

It won't matter because you won't remember it when you go home anyway. So if you learned about something while here only - it will be gone when you're back home.

I apologize for off topic but I LOVE your username!! Rose kulfi is incredibly delicious!! Though I have a slight preference for pistachio flavor

In any case if you do indeed end up with the opportunity to not do something that ends up having disastrous results / the opportunity to do something to avoid disastrous results, you ought to take it.

But as for how to bear it if you ultimately will not have that opportunity... as indeed we probably will not
well.

If you figure that out, let the rest of us know.
ha.

You'll have to be more specific.
If you mean being here? You (she?) will catch on in time. Familiarity comes with time and effort.

If there's an opportunity to complete something and someone chooses not to, I guess it would be their fault if it's not completed? If you know the whole story and you choose to do something (or the opposite) and how it will turn out, I guess you'd be responsible.

But if you don't know what you can do and it hinges upon the knowledge you have here that you don't have back home, it's not on you. All you can do is hope you'll figure things out.
You can't blame yourself for not reading the future when you weren't capable of it.
Everyone wants the best outcome for themselves and their loved ones. If you had the ability to do whatever it is, you would, right?
I'm sure it still hurts, but you have to accept how things are and hold onto hope.
