That gave everyone pause.
Coil went on, “If Jack Slash is killed, the event is likely to occur at some point in the more distant future instead.”

So years in the future, but not many.
“Dinah Alcott,” Weld spoke. All eyes turned to the metal-skinned boy.

“Thursday, April fourteenth of this year, Dinah Alcott was kidnapped from her home and has not been seen since.
Oh nice, a canon date for the bank robbery. That was back when the exact amounts of time passing were fairly clear, so I’m pretty sure that can be extrapolated to give canon dates for everything that happened in Arcs 1-3. Maybe 4 too.
Dinah had missed several weeks of classes with crippling headaches in the months before her disappearance. Investigation found no clear medical causes. Police interviewed her friends. She had confided to them that she thought she could see the future, but doing so hurt her.”
That must’ve been a pretty cool thing to have a friend who could do at that age.
