Possibly. Who we became in that vision is an extension of who we are now. I don't think some people want to see that.

[ There were people very unhappy with where it all ended up and Istredd was not one of them, but maybe that was part of it. He's used to introspective thinking and being in tune with who he is, for better or for worse. No one he saw change was vastly different from where he thinks they're capable of doing even now. Istredd didn't see anyone in that future and go 'now that makes no sense, they'd never do that.' ]

But I do remember that your loved ones were worried about where you ended up. I personally found you very reasonable, but I'm not them.

[ Istredd and Viktor didn't know one another well before that and since they've become friends, genuinely in his opinion, but it also is sort of a connection between two people with logical intellectual mindsets. No feelings are really involved.

Besides, they both know he's talking about Kyle. ]

[Viktor's lips pull tight--this is, of course, nothing he doesn't already know. After the imagined future, he'd resolved to do things differently, for those that care about him. But he's ended up like this anyway, hasn't he? It makes him wonder how much is simply inevitable. If he's doing himself a disservice by attempting to fight it. If it could have the same disastrous results as what came from trying to fight his illness.]

I've spoken with Kyle.

[So, Istredd is not the first to know. He's shown him his new form, the commune, and told him of his dream. He sees no reason not to put Istredd at ease, in that regard.]

We have an opportunity to do things differently, this time. And this form...it doesn't exist in the real world.
