[Waves a hand.] She already was in battle and didn't die. Really, what do you think of me? [No no, Mitsuhide's right, Nobuanga's a monster, and Mai did basically cower in a corner.] Cr-- The scientist I met said it takes an incredibly strong person to survive the radiation of wormholes without appropriate equipment. [Rubs his chin.] I'd meant to make sure she didn't try to go back the same way honestly, there's too much risk of death, but if she's stubborn enough to insist even with that risk our era is more dangerous, then it can't be helped.

There are. There are... almost infinite worlds. Infinite possibilities and timelines. [Vibrates a little, the Demon King frozen aura of doom and sadism fading for his enthusiasm sparkles though not completely.] There's one where you're a squirrel, and I'm a shiba inu. Masamune is a butt-ugly dog. Kichou is almost always a woman, but I'm a woman in more than two hundred. The way the timelines work, if too many paradoxes were created, it would implode on itself, and take the whole timeline with some leeway to remove the damage. It's probably moot right now, but the amount of worlds and people we can reach is so broad.

The most fascinating thing is what stays the same through them. In our timeline, America the continents, was only just circumnavigated, by Portuguese. Later there's a country there called the United States of America, and the people are all very loud, very bold, love guns and their economy is surreal. They can grow so much food they can almost feed the whole world, but they keep doing wild and crazy things. They're really into colors and science, and you'd hate it. [Laughs.] But even here, you'll find more of them than not. Or those familiar with it. I've only met one person from Cardalek or Orion, and no one from Vulcan, though I was told about it, but at least fifteen Americans. Selection bias, sure, but I'll be surprised if it's not like it here too.

Japan always has an economic miracle in the 1980s though. Everyone agrees on it. Almost strong enough to rival America -- the country's -- economy. And all through games, art, music, minimalist food techniques marketed as luxury, and what they call "movies" for moving pictures. Like a recorded play you can watch over and over like reading a book. I've even met some JPop stars, even though they had karaoke, the songs were mostly American still? I don't understand that, they agreed it's Japanese in origin, but I guess Americans did it more? Or maybe it's just the size, the country is so big.
