Nah, that makes sense. The prophecies told you what to expect, right? Here you're cut free. You've got nothing to guide you but what we can find out, and beyond the whole 'get to the center' stuff, a lot of that is best guesses and trial and error. Plus, it's your world. It's not that weird to worry what's going to happen to it.

I worry about my world, too. I already know from my friend that they're going to win the game and make the new universe, but I keep wondering what that means for me. If this place is part of the timeline that makes that happen or if I'm just going to die like any other doomed alternate if I go back.

[His voice drifts into genuine worry with that confession, and he huffs a note of frustration at himself for spilling it. Nothing new by this point, but still annoying to deal with without control.]
