She, she wants to, uh. [He leans back against the wall, hand over his eyes.] She wants to ‘cut all ties’. [Having this kind of conversation with his dad of all people is so not what he wants to be doing, but it has to happen.] Make sure there isn’t a future.

[He chews his lip nervously at that news. There’s one very obvious way to prevent the future they’ve had a glimpse of from existing, but he wants so badly to believe that even as she is now, Katelynn wouldn’t be capable of such a thing.] … I understand. B-but I’ll be careful, I promise. [He sighs miserably] I w-want that future to happen, Ulric. I haven’t seen m-much of you and your sister, but I like you. I hope my children do turn out like you. [It sounds awkward even to him, but then, this isn’t the kind of situation most people imagine having to deal with] B-believe me, I’m going to fix this.
