Wait, one of them?

Uh, right. That...I'm from a different Earth than yours? So there might only have been one great war.

He's got enough social awareness to notice she doesn't want to keep talking about it.]
There's more than one Earth?

Sorry! I...uh...it's-it's complicated? Science has definitely grown by leaps and bounds between 1918 and when I'm from.

no subject
Date: 2018-03-17 11:40 pm (UTC)Fifty three that we know of right now. There might be more that we don't know more about. Possibilities are endless.
