Rather similar to my own, actually. Although if memory serves Mr. Lyall was a few years ahead of myself, and I'm not so certain the two were from the same exact time.

[Not what he'd really been asking, but that makes it answer enough.]

They weren't.
Lyall's from significantly later in their shared timeline.
He knew things about what was going to happen to Alessandro.

Did you have any of that with Dorian, by chance?

It was rather the opposite with Dorian and I. There were things that occurred for me that he was unaware of, events that transpired in a time that he had not yet lived.

I see.
Alessandro's gone home to be murdered.
I was rather hoping he'd stay in Duplicity permanently.
For as awful as it is, he's been through enough in his life... I'd have liked him to live.

[Even if he might not have deserved to live.]

[ it takes her a very long time to respond to that last message, cursor blinking on the screen of her device as she reads over the words themselves. ]

I suppose this served as a means for him to live, whether he was aware of his fate or not.

For some of us, it's the only chance we'll ever have to delay the inevitable. And when we return there will be simply no future at all.

[ she has not spoken to many about what awaits her. so often, she thinks she has been here so long that perhaps she is simply consigned to this world as some form of purgatory. ]

It is not wrong to have wished more for him.

[Jon may be reading more into that than he should be, but he thinks Vanessa might have a rather personal stake in this. Something better discussed in person, perhaps.]

Maybe not.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Whenever you drop by, Lyall seems to have left a letter for you.
I hadn't realized, but I found it looking through the journal.

[There's a letter for Jon, as well... and one for Alessandro.]

Thank you.

I will be sure to let you know in advance of my intention to call on you so it is not an unwelcome surprise or an inconvenience.

[ somehow she doesn't think he would very much enjoy her showing up unexpected. ]

It won't be unwelcome, Ms. Ives.
I'll see you later.
