conversations.value:  “Stop lying to me. You don’t just stumble onto information as important as this.” Claire’s questioning switched to a gentler tone. “Rae, I trust you. Will you please just finally come out with it? How do you always know things that you shouldn’t?” She was being sincere. If I kept deceiving her now, she might lose that trust in me. It was time. I prepared myself.

conversations.value:  “Yes. I lived there, for a time, and I think I may have died there as well. Regardless, I somehow found myself in this world.” Claire looked like she was absorbing this, so I continued. “I can predict, to a certain extent, what will happen in this world because I learned about it in my former life.”

conversations.value:  “This world…and in your former life?”
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “Yes. In my last life, there was a book of something like…like prophecies, predicting what would happen in this world.” I left out the part about it being a game. I’d been a bit careless with Misha, and I worried about what might happen to Claire if she were told she was a character in a story.

conversations.value:  “So, you can predict what will happen next?”
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  “Then what will?” Claire inquired fearfully. Her anxiety told me that she accepted what I was saying—at least to an extent.
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “I can’t tell you.”
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “Why?”
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “Knowing the future inevitably means tampering with it. I can’t say more than I have. If you know what’s coming, your actions may alter the future I expect. I’ve done everything I can to change our future for the better without changing too much and thereby losing that advantage.” I was going to change the course of fate. I was going to ensure Claire’s survival. “That’s all I have to say.”
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  “I see…” Claire nodded slightly. “Do you accept it?”
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “That’s all I can do. I’ve witnessed the results of your foresight with my own eyes time and time again.”

conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  “Are you even listening to me?” Claire flicked me on the forehead. Ow!
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.value:  “So you were a lost spirit, Rae?”
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “I suppose so.” Misha had brought up the same story when I’d told her everything—the legend of mysterious children who appeared out of nowhere, bearing strange powers.
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  “I wonder if all lost spirits are visitors from your world, Rae?”

conversations.prefix: Rae:
