"Time travel," said Soma, and there was a weary note to her voice that suggested she knew perfectly well how stupid she sounded. "And different worlds. Did I mention that last night? There are people from all kinds of different universes here. I'm from 2309, for what it's worth."
She took another determined bite of her breakfast. "I think that's something we can all agree on. I thought I'd left people trying to control my life behind. Then I arrived here."
Still, she wouldn't exchange those short few months with the lieutenant colonel for anything in the world. And once she was out of here, she could go back to it. She just had to keep focusing on that.
The Once-ler's response to her question, if nothing else, piqued Soma's curiosity, but she didn't need the voice in the back of her head to tell her when that curiosity would be unwelcome. "I understand," she said instead, frowning a little in sympathy. "If it helps, I doubt who you were before makes much difference here."
