Jean-Marc, my dear—though tonight, I fear you feel anything but mine. I tried—I truly did—I tried to tell you what I had done. That I had anchored them. Those aberrant essences, impossibilities that had nowhere else to stand except at the very edge of a Universe you rewound. And now? They breathe. They walk. They live. Hundreds, thousands, of new lives… | |||
I thought you’d at least see some of the beauty in it. If not that, then the advantage they offer us. Even if we cannot fully trust these new Gods and Goddesses, we could have used their aid—against Fate, against the Cold. But your mind was elsewhere, tangled in the skeins of Fate. I envy it sometimes, you know—how well it keeps your attention so completely. | |||
You had no time or space to hear what I had done. All you could think about was what you needed. Second Sight. If you mean to borrow from me, you should understand: granting Second Sight isn’t some silly parlor trick. Even to demons, it is a heavy weight to bear. No one was ever meant to see between the boundary lines, and those who do are often driven mad by the overlapping realities. | |||
You told me I had given it to you in a Universe past. But, mon amour, what you fail to grasp is this: I am not her. I can’t be her. I told you we would discuss it in the New Year. It wasn’t a promise, not really—it was a way to buy myself some time. Time to figure out how to dissuade you from this path. You don’t need it, Jean. Second Sight. The Eight. The Otherman’s powers. God’s helping hand. Why can’t you see that? No other human can claim to have bent the Universe to their whim. Only you. You are a force unto yourself, mon amour, without powers beyond your control. I don’t know why a version of me in the past was willing to give you Second Sight—perhaps she pitied you, a mere human. | |||

RECEIPT NOTES:
Jean-Marc, my dear—though tonight, I fear you feel anything but mine. I tried—I truly did—I tried to tell you what I had done. That I had anchored them. Those aberrant essences, impossibilities that had nowhere else to stand except at the very edge of a Universe you rewound. And now? They breathe. They walk. They live. Hundreds, thousands, of new lives…
I thought you’d at least see some of the beauty in it. If not that, then the advantage they offer us. Even if we cannot fully trust these new Gods and Goddesses, we could have used their aid—against Fate, against the Cold. But your mind was elsewhere, tangled in the skeins of Fate. I envy it sometimes, you know—how well it keeps your attention so completely.
You had no time or space to hear what I had done. All you could think about was what you needed. Second Sight. If you mean to borrow from me, you should understand: granting Second Sight isn’t some silly parlor trick. Even to demons, it is a heavy weight to bear. No one was ever meant to see between the boundary lines, and those who do are often driven mad by the overlapping realities.
You told me I had given it to you in a Universe past. But, mon amour, what you fail to grasp is this: I am not her. I can’t be her. I told you we would discuss it in the New Year. It wasn’t a promise, not really—it was a way to buy myself some time. Time to figure out how to dissuade you from this path. You don’t need it, Jean. Second Sight. The Eight. The Otherman’s powers. God’s helping hand. Why can’t you see that? No other human can claim to have bent the Universe to their whim. Only you. You are a force unto yourself, mon amour, without powers beyond your control. I don’t know why a version of me in the past was willing to give you Second Sight—perhaps she pitied you, a mere human.
But how could I pity an Otherman?
