[Oh good, he doesn't have to have the "sorry I can't micromanage your brain for you 24/7, I'm not your mental butler" talk with her. That's nice.]

I think I can work that into my schedule, yeah. [It's not a promise, but it's about as close to one as Quentin gets. Promises get broken, hope gets proven false. Better to just have neither. He finds that helps keep expectations realistic.

He could see the memories she's projecting to him in his head or let them play out in front of them, really, but in this case he chooses to keep them internal. Look, comic book psychic stuff is inconsistent nonsense, everyone just makes it up as they go. He has a hunch that seeing a replay in front of her might be a bit much. But as for what she's shown him... He knows logically that what he's seeing is traumatizing and horrible and all that. But... well, having played a bit too fast and loose in people's heads on a number of occasions over the years, it's hard for Quentin to see something like this through any other lens.]


Nobody did this to you, right? Like a supervillain or somebody? Alternate universe version of me, but, you know, less cool and handsome?
