Is the future for other worlds predetermined? Is it for the Digital World or the Real?

Does knowing what happens, mean it will now always happen?

If you meet someone from your future, does that mean you can't change it any more, since it's their past, and the past can't be changed? If changing your future to help you, might hurt other people and their past, or maybe even remove entire people from existing, do you have the right to try to change anything at all?

That's the exact problem, right there. There's no way to know trying to fix what will happen, will result in something better for everyone else than what's already happened.

Does B even know their life's being juggled?

No. I don't think so, anyway. They don't seem the sort to think about it.

Or think about much at all, really. A's not the sort of fellow to just ruin lives to get a better future, but who ever expects to be limited by someone else's past?

... How bad's the future though?

Wish I could say it's never okay to put somebody else on the line like that but...

From what little I've found out? At least two people will die to keep the past/future the way it is or was. Maybe entire worlds.

Maybe even more will die if that's changed, though.

What you have on your hands... Is a lose-lose situation. Big time.

I know. It really really sucks. I don't know what to do about it. If anything SHOULD be done about it, you know?

Maybe you don't get it, I'll try to explain it in a different way.

Say.. you have a best friend named Tom. You just left him in your world, when you arrived here. Then he arrives too, and has his own digimon partner! But he says he comes from fifteen years in your future. Then he tells you that his life is good, and everyone's doing okay, and the usual stuff, except that in order for him to have that good life you need to die, because you sacrificed yourself to save him, and there was no way to save you too.

Now that you know that you save his life, is it right to not save his life, and thus save your own? If you don't follow along with what had already happened for him, and stay with his history's already completed timeline, maybe your best friend won't be there anymore, just so you can survive.

For now things are safe. But we all go home eventually, wherever we're from. And then the problem will be back.

I hope it'll be alright.

Only thing you can do. Just find another way.

When you're stuck on an island with ocean on every side... call in an Airdramon to pick you up!

[He says this jokingly. And it's a broad, open answer. But he sort of means it.]

I hope things can change.
I don't really have much else than that though.

Sorry. That doesn't help, does it?

Hope is really important. Sometimes it's good to be reminded of that.

I'm glad more people don't have to deal with this sort of thing.

~~They will if we don't stop this~~

[This anonymous person JUST SAID hope was good and here's Cam, being cynical.]

Yeah. It's weird.
Are you asking for people who know someone from their future? Maya came from my future, sort of. Not too far in it. It's kind of different though.
Sorry again.

It might be similar. Has she told you anything really alarming about your future recently?

It's kind of different.
I didn't want to just say it, but back home I'm dead. It doesn't really help your question. I probably shouldn't have commented.

Actually that's pretty much the exact possible situation. I'm not certain but for that level of upset I think death is involved.

I'm sorry you're dead. You're not dead here, so there's that much; are you going to try to avoid being dead?

Edited 2014-02-15 08:21 (UTC)

Really? I guess we have a lot in common then.
This is for someone else, isn't it?

Yeah. I don't want to be dead anymore and I want to keep it that way. When we fix everything, I want to choose to go back and not wind up the way I was.

It involves a lot of questions and few answers. The people affected are my friends. Thankfully I am not time traveling.

With the information she's given you, you should be able to avoid dying that way, right? Nothing strangely good has happened because you died, did it? Lives saved, or sudden world-savings due to your sacrifice, and similar things? It's an odd question I know, but it might change things.

That's good enough. I understand.

It's not that simple. I died, then I came here. When I got here, I was dead. This world had to reconstruct me.

Edited (HTML....) 2014-02-15 08:40 (UTC)

To answer your question, she said nothing good's happened even then. It'd be better to live.

Bad part: dead before getting here.

Good part: survival probably won't radically destroy the future.

So for you there's no reason at all not to do your best to remedy the situation and keep on living. That's nice and clean cut.

Exactly what I was thinking. There was a girl I was talking to with a similar problem. We were going to try and find a way to get home ourselves so we could make sure we were alive. I haven't seen her around though. Not since December.

I think she's probably gone.
I want to help you and your friends. I don't know any answers, but I don't want to go back to being dead.

[Dorumon won't admit that Sora technically might not be a friend, and Terra was still standoffish - all that mattered was he cared about them and this whole timey wimey bullshit. At least ONE person out there actually understood what he meant through direct experience! Not quite as harsh, but experience!]

Do you remember her name? Maybe I can ask around. She could be on another continent or island... or maybe she told someone about things.

It's good to not give up, especially in your situation. I'm sure a way will be found to save you. It might mean staying in the Digital World at the worst, but even that's better than dead isn't it?

I want to help my friends too. I'm just not sure how. I think if one survives in the future, the other might poof out of existence.

Rin Tousaka. Blonde hair, sharp tongue. She's actually kind of sweet though.
I really hope she's still here.

It'd be better to go home. My girlfriend won't go home without me, and she's got family and friends and a future back there.

That's tricky. I don't know about that. Maybe that's not how time travel works. I've never been good with it. Movies always confused me.
