The button? Oh! This is a button? [She takes her finger off the on-screen button, frowning at it.] It had no particularly different feeling, so I wasn't aware.
So this is a... phone. [Alright.]
And the phone's... camera, was it? It takes... images? And keeps them?
Yeah, it's a touch screen. [ ... what does that even mean to her. ] Anyway, you got the gist of it. The camera stores the pictures in the phone, an' you can look at them pretty much whenever.
he presses on the screen for her a few times to show her the pictures. she will see, on top of the pictures of herself, a bunch of pictures of the people from here!
and then some who are not from here if she goes back any further ]
[Unaware of proper smartphone etiquette, she scrolls back, and selects one at random with enough color and faces to be interesting, and starts swiping through.]

Here, that's the gallery.

Did you take these all here?
[Unaware of proper smartphone etiquette, she scrolls back, and selects one at random with enough color and faces to be interesting, and starts swiping through.]
no subject
Hey, wait a-- I mean, yeah, I did--
[ it is all pictures of the same people! Xion, a boy with blond hair, Saix with green eyes, some other teens--
wait ]
Don't just go through these without asking!
no subject
What an interesting collection! I recognize some of the people in these photos, but others I assume are not here.
Saix looks quite different in these, doesn't he? Are they old?
no subject
He's-- they're not old. It's... complicated.
no subject
What part of it is complicated? I'm happy to listen. I'd like to know more about your friends.
[THEY ARE DEFINITELY FRIENDS
AXEL HAS FRIENDS!!!!]
no subject
He's... kinda not himself, right now. I dunno how to explain it.
no subject
As in, you've never seen him quite like this before?
no subject
[ wait, too sulky. he waves a hand around ]
It's hard to explain, but even though these pictures are recent enough for me, they kinda... haven't happened for him yet?
no subject
[This one isn't too rough, considering spirit finagling.]
Are you saying you're both from different points in time? A split universe?
no subject
no subject
[...]
You have other people you know here. Are they from the same point in time as yourself, then?
no subject
Nope. All of us are from different times. Just keeping track of who knows what is a major headache.
no subject
Goodness. And which of you is furthest into the future?
no subject
You're looking at 'em.
no subject
That is quite the burden to bear on your own, Lea.
Are they aware of your situation? Is there anything anyone outside of it can do to assist?
no subject
[ which answers neither of her questions, really ]
no subject
no subject
Both.
no subject
Nevertheless, I am available for assistance, Lea.

[She smiles.]
Nevertheless, I will keep an eye out for you, Lea.
