Who knows. It's always hard to tell what will come.

You could say that. We're both from the same earth.

I'll take that recommendation.

Good. I believe he's set up in LA. Don't be shocked if he briefly hesitates when seeing you. He'll still treat you.

Don't worry, I'm used to all that.

[He knows what it means for someone to come from David's world!]

you don't deserve to have to. I'm sorry.

It's fine! I'm not exactly innocent in all of this myself.

You've proven you've come past that.

Well, still. I understand where people are coming from. All the other versions of me I've heard of sound like pieces of work.
Maybe in a perfect world we wouldn't judge people based on their alternate selves, but under the circumstances I think it makes sense to be cautious.

I got to meet the alternate version of one of my teachers recently. It is not easy, at all.

It didn't go well? I'm sorry.

No, it's more that it's awkward. He has family in my world and I don't know if he does there so it's awkward.

Oh. Yes, I can see that being strange.

[Forgetting the usual alternate-Otto problems - it'd be very unsettling to meet a version of himself, one more like him than Jumpsuit Otto, who had never married.]

I basically owe his son my life. And his young clone. And him for teaching me. It's all a mess. You're easier to balance since I didn't know Doc Oc personally.
