I miss people who never were.
Did someone...erase...some of your friends from the timestream? [Funny, he wasn't this well versed in Time Lord problems before...]

I think so. Maybe. The Time War destroyed a lot of my life, and made the rest a confused jumble.
I'm pretty sure I had a son. I think I even ran into him a few times, during the War. But at the same time I know damn well that I've never had children. And it hurts to think about it--it's nausiating, like looking at one of those optical illusions where the paper spins.

Changing history is strange like that.
That is rather terrible. And as I understand it there's little belief in your culture for treatment for such issues.
Have you considered use of self hypnosis to help unjumble things?

Hypnosis won't make my past less confusing, it'll just make my memories wrong.
It's okay. I didn't know them anyway.
*He manages to fake a smile for a moment, then breaks down sobbing.* Oh my poor son. My Neverwere Could've-Been King.
*He manages to fake a smile for a moment, then breaks down sobbing.* Oh my poor son. My Neverwere Could've-Been King.
That is why I suggested self hypnosis. You don't need anyone else manipulating you.
My memories will still be wrong. They'll just be wrong in a way I like. And I'd rather not have my mind tampered with even by myself.
But you did at the same time...
*Janie will try to give him a hug* I'm so sorry.

I know that he would've been a great leader, perhaps Lord President. But the War means he was never born.
What I do, is keep busy. There's always something else to do to take my mind off of things.
I have a lot of history that isn't anymore.

I do. But usually by killing things, and I don't want to hurt you.
I can't relate to that kind of personal pain, but I do have an idea of what you mean.
I ... have me. A brother. Who's me. In a way.

Same universe. Kind of a split from me, when I first was exposed to the state of existence between realities.
So, literally, 'is me' and 'is not me'. A living paradox.

I understand. I am merely concerned. You are dealing with enough without this happening to do, and when a friend presents with problems my urge is to seek a solution.
I'm used to it by now, don't worry. It's just that I need to vent sometimes.
Vent all you wish then. I still rather wish we could find you a more efficient energy source than food.
I know. But at least this way I have a reason to kill people--aside from the drums, that is.
I'm just thinking of all the awesome things you could do if you weren't caught up in this. I never have gotten a chance to see you science.
