The hardest part of visiting other worlds, trying not to uphold others to the same rules of your own." He sighed. Oh, how he knew that one well - even if the one he had spent most of his days in was more of a chimerical conglomeration of many shards that made it all the harder to do just that.

Better to prove her wrong and show her the future we'd create than have her become a martyr for those beliefs."
