No, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Y'know, as usual.

[ She's trying to lighten the mood a bit. ]

Shit, Sarah.

[But it succeeds, in that Cosima laughs a little.]

It's weird, you know. I've been here so long on my own... before you and Helena showed up, it sort of felt like my life at home was more and more kind of unreal. Not like it didn't happen, obviously, but just... distant. And now there's so much that you've lived that I don't even remember being there for.

[coppelganger]

I feel that way too. Not for the same reason, just... you don't remember, Helena doesn't remember. It's almost like it didn't really happen.

[youwonscience]

I'm sorry. I wish I did.

[Not because it sounds like it went well, exactly, but so Sarah felt less alone. Gently, a joke:]

Just wait until, like, Alison from five years ahead of you inevitably shows up.

[coppelganger]

[ Sarah laughs, genuinely amused at the thought of Alison showing up, even if she is from some point in the future. ]

I'm not sure she'd be able to survive in a world without PTAs and homeowners' associations.

[youwonscience]

Oh my god, are you kidding? [Laughing a little:] She'd be seneschal in like, two weeks, maximum. She'd force a merchant into reverse-engineering glue guns and glitter so that we can send out real invitations to shit. The entire base operations project would be running scared.

Shit, you're right. She would bring suburbia to Thedas.
