[that's fine, Dave is doing plenty of thinking on it for the both of them. like, there's that very nagging thought about what's happening every time they reset, and something changes. he only has his own experiences to go off of, and his own experiences tell him that they are creating an absolutely stupid number of doomed timelines right now.]

Not to get too philosophical, but maybe all gods are insufferable pricks. [present party included.]
