Nerva: "So- what's this 'Your side of it?'"
X-Prime: "I want you to know how Damaging you has DESTROYED me- "
X-Then (?): "Oh"
X-Prime: "Not to seek your FORGIVENESS, or to show you a HARSH JUSTICE SUFFERED"
X-Then (?): "Ohhh.."
X-Prime: "...but because there are only two tasks I can do, here, which are of value: Effecting your escape, and showing my failures.."
X-Then (?): "Ahhhh!!"
X-Prime: "We must jump again soon- but - if the EFFECTS of either task OUTLAST me - Who's to say- "
X-Prime: "...which may be more valuable."
X-Then: "Ahh."
..
Nerva: "Uh-"
X-Prime: "J.C. Pennie's Changing Room... June of 2000.."
Thumpa Thumpa
X-Prime: "Flyin' solo again this time-"
X-Prime: "My fluxuation between self-preservation & contrition has left me with neither a Safe you, or a future for myself."
Thumpa Thump
Nerva: "Uh- what?"
Nerva: "Yeah-- the 'not-safe me' bit I know about.. & while I'm interested in my escape... what's this about your no-future?"
X-Prime: "I'm 'DOCKED, man. My continued...existance..is a PARADOX. While I can HIDE out in non-conflicting bits of my PAST, I'm Running out of times."
Nerva: "And when you run out of places to hide?"
Ohhhhh
Nerva: "That THING will EAT YOU?"
X-Prime: "Well- It WILL..'remove' me- all traces, now, then, before, after-- but it's not 'that thing'"
X-Prime: "It is MY Body's G'organ...doint its job.. from its odd place"
Ahh
..
Nerva: "Part of your body?"
