Chapter 30
Sitar-Hero 2.0 has joined the chat.
Sitar-Hero 2.0: There have been many times the media's portrayed you as dumb, Ringo, but that's the first time you've ever proved them right.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr has joined the chat.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: excuse me?
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: I hardly think that repeating the exact same actions that you've been doing for months-- no, YEARS-- is dumb--
Sitar-Hero 2.0: You know that's not what I meant.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: THEN ELABORATE!
Sitar-Hero 2.0: Oh, I don't know, hinting that John was going to die?! Telling him he was going to have a second child-- that wasn't even with his current wife?! DROPPING CLUES LIKE FLIES IN FRONT OF GEORGE?!
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr is typing...
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: why does it matter now if they know? Time isn't going to change. Everything is set. John will probably forget about it in a matter of days. Didn't you forget about your younger self when he first contacted you?
Sitar-Hero 2.0: I... things could vary. I'm not John. He has a keener mind than most.
Sitar-Hero 2.0: And what if he leaves Cyn earlier than expected? Do you know how guilty I felt drifting apart from her in the first place?
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr is typing...
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: ...that won't happen.
Sitar-Hero: How can you be sure? How can we be sure how any of this works? How can we be so sure that George is just going to completely forget about John's future after you told him-- JESUS, RINGO! "Another day, another time"? HE KNOWS!
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr is typing...
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: calm. down.
Sitar-Hero: No. No, not right now. I can't calm down. George knows, and while I was stupid enough to give the first hints to him, you've just about finished the job. Since you're so sure of what will happen, why not tell me what he'll do, hm? Confide in John about this whole thing? Tell him he's afraid for his life? Tell him he'd better kiss his son goodbye -- or SONS, NOW THAT HE KNOWS OF THAT OUTCOME?
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: George--
Sitar-Hero: And you thought that bringing up Maureen would somehow make things--
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: don't. Don't go there.
Sitar-Hero: You were selfish enough to ask about her in the past-
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME SELFISH!
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: SHE WAS SICK, HORRIBLY SICK, AND I WASN'T THERE TO CARE FOR HER. WAS THAT SELFISH?
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: SHE GAVE ME THREE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, AND I WAS NEVER HOME TO CARE FOR THEM, WHAT ABOUT THAT?
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: AND WHILE SHE WAS ABOUT TO DO HERSELF AWAY BECAUSE I DID OUR MARRIAGE AWAY, I WAS DRINKING MYSELF DEAD.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: I'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT SELFISH, GEORGE, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: SO DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE LEAST I CAN DO, THE VERY LEAST, IS ASK HOW SHE'S DOING?
Sitar-Hero has gone idle.

You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: look.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: time will tell if anything will change in the future.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: and so far, time has told us that nothing has changed.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: John and Mo will go, and have gone.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: John will have two beautiful sons, from two different mothers.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: and we will still be where we are.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: let's just leave it as it is.
Sitar-Hero has left the chat.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: George, don't you understand?
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: time isn't changing. We're losing time by the day.
You_Earned_A_Gold_Starr: and in a matter of time, I'm... going to lose you...
