You really think so? You don't think he'd take one look at it and just toss it aside as the insane ramblings of... well, someone insane? I mean, I'm going to try it, I just think that if it was me, I might be a little skeptical. But maybe he's not so skeptical anymore, because he has some years under his belt.

[ He smiles, even if it's a small one, but he's already resolved to try and write something to his older, future self. ]

Well, if trust is hard for you, at least being stubborn is easy for me. I'm not going to stop trying. Besides, you know, I used to think that maybe I was just weird for believing a cut-off lamp switch could really scare away the things that go bump in the night. It's- kind of a long story, but I was scared of the dark growing up. Which, now that I'm thinking about it, you probably already know. Unless he never told you.

[ He looks a little surprised at that. ] He did? I wonder... No, that doesn't make sense.
