[There's a delay as he sorts his thoughts and thinks of how best to say this.]

we weren't fighting really

i think she just wanted to test me

she knew about what sort of magic i could use, what i was capable of

including the teleporting

she planned the whole thing i think

it seemed like her goal was to find out where i'd teleport and then get the drop on me by rewinding to before that

so she put me in a situation where i'd have to teleport

she kinda tried to shove me off the roof haha

but i don't think either of us realized that it




what she did is she rewound and sent me backwards through a teleport, if that makes sense

but uh space isn't supposed to bend like that

and you're especially not supposed to be aware of it when it does

that's why my eyesocket cracked

the left one has some kinda weird properties that i can't really get into

so i think that's why it happened that way



and

as monsters go i'm pretty weak

very weak

so if something like that ever happened again i

think it would kill me

[Max's reply also comes after a delay she she reads and rereads his messages, trying to take in all the implications.]

You mean every time I rewind I might end up killing you?? If you also teleported?

[punful]

i mean

maybe

i don't have all the data so i can't be completely sure

and ha i don't really want to test it

so it's pretty bad science

but i think it's pretty likely



but you know, if it turns out that your rewinds don't affect all of wonderland then it would only matter if i was in the vicinity at the time

either way i'll be careful

i'm always careful

so don't worry about it too much alright?

[mypartnerintime]

Kinda impossible not to worry...

...But I did rewind during the Neverland event. did you feel anything at all?

[punful]

you did?

i didn't notice


although that doesn't say much

i was a kid at the time and at that age i didn't have all the abilities i have now

[mypartnerintime]

[...She tested it out, a few times, in her room. What was she supposed to do? Ignore it?]

...You haven't felt anything on some normal days either? Without any event going on..?

[punful]

[Oh.]

[Oh, of course she's tested it. She'd be an idiot not to. She's just. Just been casually rewinding here and there, and he's...]

[Just been casually taking shortcuts, like he always does.]

[He could have been dust at any point, and he wouldn't even have known why.]

[Well, hey, at least that confirms something.]




guess that means it only affects your personal timeline

so that's good

[mypartnerintime]

I'm sorry Sans... if I had known you could have gotten hurt...

[You would've what? Cuz I'm calling bullshit.

She doesn't know what she would've done. The risks of rewinding are so big, and the consequences so large, and yet here Max is, rewinding away... So what if Sans has a particularly bad reaction to it? The end result is the same.

Someone always gets hurt.

But she sends the text anyway.]

[punful]

that's the thing

i didn't want you to stop rewinding cause you were worried about me

not when you might've needed to rewind again during the event

that's why i didn't tell you

so like i said don't worry about me

now we know the rewind won't affect me unless i'm part of your timeline so

you know

do whatever you need to do alright?

just

[He can't judge. She's not from his world. He doesn't know all the details, and he hasn't even bothered to ask, because he has no right to know. Not after all the shit he's pulled.]

[He's called this consequences before, and he's going to keep doing so.]



just be careful

[mypartnerintime]

[How very selfless.

Of course I'll be careful...

But she doesn't reply.]
