The trouble with hypotheticals is they tend to not have a goal in mind so much as seeing where things might lead. Let's say a past self and a future self. They're you, but not.
Fine. Just so you know there's probably plenty of people where I come from that can tell you what to look for. Just not me.
[ She just knows there's souls 'because', alright?! ]
Well. Maybe it's not so hypothetical for some people.
[ That 'sounds' a bit tetchy. Or defensive? ]
I... don't know. A past self... I don't have so many memories of my past. And I chose not to look into the stuff I could have found out and focus on the present and future instead.
I think it might be better to handle meeting me from the future though. Though I guess that future person might not feel the same way.
[ If they're the 'her' from the future and she has a problem meeting her past self, why should she feel her future self will handle that any better? ]
Fine. I'm going into town to see what there is to eat. You can come.
[Not that they're far from each other to begin with, but the constant relentless itch to eat something was always a good motivator and he wasn't about to just stand around and chat.
Unsurprisingly he's still in solid black when he turns up to wait; might as well make use of the walk there too.]

Would it be easier if you thought of her, or them, as a sister instead of 'you', even though they hypothetically are?

[ Bold evidence. What does that even mean? ]
Of course it would be easier. But is that what you want me to do?

You've met a variant of yourself before?

No. It's... Look, I'm not saying it's worse here or anything, don't get me wrong. It just feels hard to talk about on this thing.
[ Which you know. Funny because she wrote it all down in her journal. But that was sort of different. ]
Maybe it'd be better in person?
let's ditch brackets too when we get there. e.e
