[ Pausing. ]

I'm not who I was when I die...when I left. At all. Not one bit.

So? No one said you had to be.

[She's still sounding snappish, because being that angry doesn't go away in a heartbeat.]

Do you not think Nica would be so grateful to have you back she wouldn't care? You should've seen her after Harry was in the otherworld for a short time. She was deliriously happy.

Unless you're telling me you didn't have a happy marriage, and your kids somehow arrived only through science.

Ask this Nica why it's unlikely she's even there anymore.

Because someone like me definitely isn't there?

Ever consider that someone might want to keep Nica alive? Find a way to help her heart? Hell, I'll bet Seth worked on that for his science fair in secondary school.

Maybe. Maybe. But a lot of things are maybe. Like, maybe she moved on. Maybe they didn't stay in New Dodge.

But finding them wouldn't be that hard, once you're in the right timeline.

Wouldn't you love to see your dad again?

UCB-2185. I may not know where my wife and my children are, but I know my own U-Code. I would love to see my dad. Of course I would. I just...how do I explain what happened to me?

Tell them the truth. Explain what happened. Give them a chance to accept it.

And if they don't?

Then you married and fathered horrible people.

Do you really think they're going to reject you because a terrible thing happened to you? Do you really think your wife and children are horrible people.

I'm not really worried about people I can't get to at the moment.

Then who else would matter enough to worry about?

My father? My sister?

Why worry about their reaction?

[ Here's a perplexed look. ]

Why wouldn't I worry about their reaction?

You don't think they'd be relieved you came out the other side of such an ordeal?

I don't know what they would be. Maybe.

Who wouldn't be proud you survived that? Many people wouldn't've.

You've never met my father.

Then your father's an idiot.

He's not an idiot. Come on.

He is if he reacts as poorly as you're implying.

I don't have a great record of doing things that make him happy about my safety.

But you didn't do anything to cause it.

So if he reacts badly, I stand by my idiot assessment.

In theory, I didn't do anything to cause my car accident in Tokyo, but I still ended up on a 9 month medical conservatorship.
