Yo, sib! Long time no see. Gotta talk, it's uber important. Like, fate-of-the-world stuff.
Later gator snickers what's up?
grabs Peterson's arm and pulls him towards a nearby corner Dude, you won't believe this. Time travel is real, and I've gone back to fix it.
Oh really? Tell me about it.
starts pacing, hands gesturing wildly Alright, listen up. So, imagine you're a time traveler, right? You go back and try to change stuff.
Yeah...I get that part. What's the crisis?
taps her temple Here's the deal, bro.
Okay, picture this. We're talking about a parallel universe, man. A place where everything is just like our own world but with one major twist - they never built the moon landing.
...Huh? No moon landing? That's wild. So, what does that have to do with anything?
pauses dramatically Well, buckle up, bro, because here's the kicker. This alternate reality is on the brink of collapse.
Are you serious? How did that even happen?
Look, I know it sounds crazy, but just hear me out.
laughs nervously Alright, alright. Lay it on me.
takes a deep breath Okay, so, in this alternate universe, they never built the moon landing because NASA was a bunch of chickenshits who couldn't handle the heat.
laughs Nice metaphor! But why does it matter to us?
leans in closer, voice filled with urgency Because, Peterson, here's the thing.
Peterson discovers that the events in the parallel universe are starting to bleed into his own reality.
Holy shit, Suzuha! We're not just talking about some random alternate universe, are we? It's actually affecting us?
grinning mischievously Damn straight it's affecting us, bro! We're talking about a cosmic connection here.
Wait...so does that mean everything we do in this universe is gonna start screwing with our world too?
puts her hands on her hips Boom, you got it! Every choice, every action, every guilty pleasure is gonna send ripples into that damn parallel universe.
swallows hard Jesus...This is way more than I signed up for!
grabs a nearby chalkboard and starts scribbling furiously Alright, let's break this down, people!
squints at the chalkboard Alright, alright. Draw something for me.
points to a complicated timeline drawing on the chalkboard Check this out, genius.
leans in closer, squinting at the chalkboard Alright, I see the timeline. But what's the connection between the two universes?
snaps her fingers Ah, you're catching on quick! The connection is right here, bro!
squints at the chalkboard I see the dotted line, but what's the "resonance" you mentioned?
points to the wavy line under the dotted line This, my dude, is the resonance.
furrows brow The resonance? Why does it look like a heartbeat?
grins Good catch, bro! It's literally the heartbeat of the universe.
nods slowly Alright, I'm starting to get it. The connection between the universes...it's like a two-way street?
Exactly, Peterson! It's a cosmic back-and-forth, like a sick beatbox battle between Peppa Pig and Eminem.
laughs You've got some talent for making analogies, I'll give you that.
starts pacing around the room Alright, so we've got the timeline connecting the two universes, and we've got the resonance keeping them tethered.
chuckles You're really laying it all out there, aren't ya? So what's the plan then?
stops pacing, smirks Oh, the plan is simple, bro. We gotta disrupt the resonance before it destroys both universes.
