Everyone,

I know a lot of people are worried about being here rather than home, so I wanted to share something I had learned recently. I was sent back to where I'm from, and as soon as I arrived, it was like I had never left. The man I was traveling with didn't even realize I had been gone, and so far as I could tell, even though six months passed here, it was only a few moments at the most in Columbia. However, it doesn't hold true for the opposite. Obviously, I'm back now, but I did leave here for a few days.

In case you're worried about being here, I hope this helps you rest at least a little more easily. It's definitely possible to go back.

Also, if you're feeling homesick, there's something I might be able to do. It's complicated to explain (though I certainly can if you want the explanation), but I can create portals to other worlds. However, before you ask, we can't use them to leave Chroma, since that's too dangerous. But I do want to get better at controlling where I can open them to so that maybe this could be possible eventually. Showing people how their homes are doing feels like a better way to practice than just opening random ones over and over again. If you'd like that, please let me know. It's something I can at least try.

- Elizabeth

yeah that does seem to be a thing for a lot of people. which is kind weird in and of itself now i think about it
so knowing that we got some kinda "months inside, seconds outside" deal going on is totally a weight off

no big with you not knowing everything about your powers
i mean i don't know everything about how a computer works on the inside but i still use it, right?
anyway i'm not like SUPER familiar. i mean i've done the sorta physics they make you do in school and watched a couple documentaries on Discovery, but you know. quantum physics is stuff like Schrodinger's cat, right?

considering how this town can get sometimes that all sounds really heavy, ngl. i hope you at least get to make the most of your break

but yea i'm from the 2010s so i think they came up with that one a while after your time
tho i think it also sounds a lot like what you're talking about!! it's like a thought experiment where you got a cat in a sealed box with something that could kill it if activated. and until you open the box and actually observe the cat, after a while it's both alive and dead at the same time.
because of superpositioning or something like that?
but one of the ways to look at it goes into many-worlds theory and says that once you open the box to observe the cat it splits off into two separate branches instead of just collapsing into one. like what you said about events changing
or something like that! it's actually pretty difficult to explain this stuff now i'm trying

ANYWAY this is all really interesting, like for real!!! just to check i'm following all this right:
so you're saying if two different versions of the same person in different universes study a particular thing at the exact same time that that somehow connects them
like going back to the cat
if the person from the alive-cat universe and the person from the dead-cat universe were observing their version of the cat at the exact same time across universes, that creates some kinda connection between the two seperate branches or something?
and your whole thing with being able to make Tears is like... if you were in the dead-cat universe and you wanted the cat to be alive, you can make that connection to the one where it IS just by wanting a universe where that exact same cat is alive badly enough.
have i got it???
