My work buddy told me insects were spawns of the devil, so I asked them—which one? We have dealt with all kinds of devils over the course of my stay in [REDACTED], and I had to know which of them spouted six-legged, crawly things. Might be good material for my next task.
Get to know Dara and Page, two souls whose possible lives I watch over across the multiverse. I am the Seer, and my duty lies in telling their story to the best of my ability. Will I interfere? I cannot. That is a fact I have established since the beginning.
And now, these two souls have found their way to each other at last. In a cafe. I know. Cliche. But there might be something different with this meeting, and butterflies are the last normal thing in it.
