“Right.”
“What if you could choose both? Choose both A and B, so your A self knows what your B self knows and vice versa.
Intriguing… go on…
When you know path B is the right choice, you can make it so. The world where you chose to go down path A is gone, vanished, so when you comes to the next choice, you can do it again.”
This sounds a lot like how future vision works in Steven Universe.
“Sounds pretty useful.”
“Trick being that you can only have two realities running in parallel at a time, and the only differences between those realities hinge on the choices and calls you make.
Hm.
Is she describing Coil’s power here? Because this sounds a lot like Coil’s power, except with more of a bent towards knowledge.
The choices in question here wouldn’t affect the flip of a coin, though, unless you’re parahumanly good at physics.
So you delegate. You find people who will follow orders. Sometimes you send them out to do something in only one world, so that if things don’t go the way you want, you can default to the reality where you didn’t send them.
Okay yeah, this is absolutely sounding like Coil now.
What does he have to do with any of this, though?
Or, in simpler terms, in one world, you flip a coin. In the other, you hold on a second, delay, say something.”
…the character I was talking about in the previous post also does a thing involving a coin flip and parallel timelines.
“Until every coin you’re flipping gives you a heads. You’re talking about Coil,” I realized.
I see… so that’s how it works. Thank you! I’ve been really wanting to know the particulars of his power.
But again, what does this have to do with you knowing about Taylor’s secret since before you met her? Did you (or Coil) know something about the other reality’s Taylor, or something?
