[Even before her conversation with Dimitri, Jade had her suspicions that she likely wasn't the only one plagued by a dream like that. And she had experienced enough to know not to write that off as a mere "dream" -- especially after everything they had gone through during their long sleep.
[Nodding as she listens, Jade glances over to Alice again. It's hard to tell whether the flickers she sees from time to time are the Alice she knows, or the version of her from this other possibility. So long as she grounds herself to the warmth of that hand, it doesn't matter.]
I saw something similar -- a version of myself that would ally with Zenith. [She flinches at the memory.] It... didn't end well.
[The masked face, the voices, the pain of having her body ripped apart and changed into something else. It's still fresh in her mind, even now.]
Dunno about this one, but in my world, it's common knowledge that there are near-infinite realities, in which different choices branch to different outcomes. A world existing in which we both make the same choices as our other selves is not unheard of. Anytime someone thinks "I would never do something like that!" there likely exists an Eventuality in which they do.
