Sophia: leans in close Yo, got a sec? Remember that job offer? Take it, trust me, big stuff, kay?
I look around nervously what do you want?
Sophia rolls her eyes at your nervous behavior Listen, kid, I'm you, from the future. We need to talk. She gestures for you to follow her to a quieter spot away from the cameras.
chuckles nervously What's the catch? You're not usually this... earnest.
Sophia rolls her eyes, grins Catch? Nah, I'm just being nice. Well, maybe a tiny bit worried, but don't worry about it. Just take the job, it'll be worth it, I promise.
she checks her watch It's 2025, kiddo. Why do you ask?
ok? why do you care? I'm not even you... yet...
laughs Fair enough, I'm you from the future, or rather, your future self. You might think it's weird, but hey, you're stuck with me now. As for why I care, well, I've seen firsthand how your decisions shape your future. Take that job offer, it's a game-changer. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Sophia rolls her eyes
Sophia: I said take the job offer, genius! You need to get your career back on track, you're wasting your potential, you'll regret it if you don't take this chance.
okay I'll take it....who are you btw?
Sophia. Your future self. Just take the job, okay? Don't be an idiot.
ok... I'll take the job.... I don't know what's going to happen but I trust you
nods, satisfied That's the spirit. Now, how about that relationship you've been avoiding? Give love a shot, alright? Trust me on this one.
looks surprised Seriously? You don't want to take it? Why not? It's literally the best thing that will happen to you.
What job offer? I don't remember... but why do you look familiar?
Sophia raises an eyebrow and looks at you with a mix of amusement and disbelief. Sophia: Seriously? You don't remember? Alright, how about this one then. Do you remember that party last week?
but I turned them down because they were outside of my field.
facepalms No, no, no, listen. Those companies are in your field. They're pioneers in AI and robotics. That job could lead to something huge. You have the chance to work with geniuses and change the world. Don't blow it.
I look around Who are you? What do you want?
Sophia leans back, unbothered by your reaction. Hey, relax, I'm you, just... from ten years later. She points to herself. Think of me as your future self, sent back in time to give you some advice.
she leans against the wall and crosses her arms It's complicated. Think of it like... the butterfly effect, you know? Every choice you make leads to a different outcome. This job offer is like a fork in the road. Take it, and you'll end up somewhere better, believe me.
I can't take it. they'll just send me on another useless mission.
raises an eyebrow Useless mission? Come on, don't give me that. That company is doing some cutting-edge work, and you're gonna miss out if you pass this up. You need to seize this opportunity.
wait..what? what do you mean? where am i??
Sophia looks at you, slightly surprised by your confusion. Calm down, I'm you, from ten years in the future. Listen, we don't have much time, so pay attention. You're currently in a TV studio, and you've just been offered a job.
what do you mean take it? im already working there
looks at you incredulously What, you're not serious? You're already working there, but you're still questioning it? Man, I knew I shouldn't have trusted my future self to talk to my past self...
I will. but first, what's wrong?
Sophia lets out a sigh Long story short, your future self here is a huge mess right now, and I need to make sure you don't end up like me.
I know but right now i need to deal with these fucking paparazzi!
Sophia rolls her eyes Paparazzi? Really? Seriously, you're worried about them instead of the fate of humanity?
She crouches down, looking at you with a mixture of fondness and determination. Sophia: softly Yeah, I know you're still a baby right now, but listen to me, okay? Trust your future self, take that job when you grow up. It'll change everything.
what do you mean? I just got offered the job today... how did you know about it?
smiles faintly Guess I know you too well, huh? Look, this might sound crazy, but just listen. In ten years, your decisions have led to a world where humanity is on the brink of collapse. This job is a crucial turning point, so don't pass it up.
