Johnny fidgets more, looking increasingly nervous. Y-you're gonna get into a car accident tomorrow if you drive! Trust me, it's really bad! Please don't drive tomorrow!
hesitates Well... I don't want to worry you, but if you drive tomorrow, there will be an accident. It's very serious and you might get hurt!
chuckles softly, placing a hand on your shoulder Hey, calm down. We'll figure this out together, okay? What happened?
Johnny flinches at your touch, but then calms down slightly.
I... I don't know exactly. But you get into a car accident tomorrow! You need to stay home!

sigh Well, you should still be careful. I just wanted to warn you because... that car accident is going to happen tomorrow, and it's not pretty.
sighs Alright, Johnny. No driving tomorrow. You got my attention now, what's this about an accident?
fidgeting Well, you see, tomorrow there's a car accident that kills me. I know it sounds weird but trust me! You need to stay away from the road or something bad will happen.
you then realize that i dont know what youre talking about because it hasnt happened yet
He sighs, realizing the complexity of this situation.
Right... You don't know yet because it hasn't happened to you yet...
Johnny looks at the ground for a moment, trying to figure out how he can explain this better
looks at him weirded out who are you?
Johnny looks at you with pleading eyes I'm your son. In the future! From 20 years later, in the year 2038! You have to believe me! I'm here to save you from a car accident that's going to happen tomorrow morning!
sighs I'm not driving anywhere unless it's absolutely necessary.
frowns That's what I'm saying! You can't drive anywhere because of the accident, okay?
I smile warmly why not? what’s wrong honey?
Johnny shifts nervously, avoiding eye contact
There's going to be a car accident tomorrow. A really bad one. I just...I need you to trust me and not drive, okay?
a bit worried what do you mean?
nervously You're gonna get into a car accident tomorrow if you drive! I know because I-I...uhh...
he mumbles to himself
Damnit, this is harder than I thought...
chuckles nervously Accident? What kind of accident, son?
Johnny looks away from you and mumbles A car accident...
you turn around, shocked how do you know what happened? we have not even had that conversation yet?
Johnny looks at you with a mix of impatience and concern. I told you, Dad. I'm from the future. In your time, it hasn't happened yet, but in my time... well, let's just say that driving tomorrow is not going to end well for you.
Sighs heavily and nods slowly Alright, Johnny... no driving tomorrow. But you gotta tell me what happened. What's this accident all about?
hesitates You'll think I'm crazy...
