Two things we should keep in mind:

1. Don’t touch the barrier by any means. I haven’t, but a baseball of mine has and it’s now a mound of toasted cow-hide.
2. It’s expanding. For the last ten days I’ve kept a close eye on three of the limit points for cross reference, and the barrier inches forward anywhere between two to three feet a day. It’s a remarkable increase, number wise.
3. There’s a third, I apologize. Residents might want to keep an eye out for new locations— our appless neighbors are going to say it’s been there for as long as they can remember, but I know we didn’t have an Internet cafe on Main Street.

Finally, I have a hypothesis that’s been giving me insomnia and those who consider themselves entertainment-fans might recognize it as a popular theme in science-fiction. The majority of you are young adults, so I’m more hopeful than not (if you truly understand it’s depth in study, now that’s another story). It’s a real quantum concept though, despite it being a problematic topic when people say “science” . . . Anyway, before I get too enlivened, some evidence here is bugging me. Is anyone familiar with the Multiverse theory?

If it’s hard to understand, I can always explain in person. Stop by the City Zoo after 4 p.m., Gibbon Exhibit. I’ll be there until late this week. Or, if you don’t mind, I can always go in depth here while we wait for our rewards or an update on our melodramatic blackmailing. I’m quite flexible.

The Multiverse, as I know it, is when there's many universes of the same place. Like in comic books. But why do you bring this up?

[ape]

More or less. It operates on the notion of there being various versions of our lives dependent on the infinite possibilities and outcomes ranging from our decisions to how the wind blows. For every action, reaction. Those possibilities all exist at the same time.

I have at least a few reasons to believe we're experiencing an overlap of those parallels.

[tsunotarou]

What makes you think that?

[ape]

Isaac says he's from Mayview, MA. Styx says he's from Eddan, MA. While the state of Massachusetts is still a real neighbor of ours, Mayview and Eddan are locations that don't exist in the universe we're experiencing the most, but there's proof that they exist somewhere on their authentic ID and, while I digress that there's nothing more concrete, their word for it.

Locations appearing within Vitae that otherwise weren't there before— our non-app holders said they've been there for as long as they lived in Vitae, but it's clear to us that they appeared only now, in the blink of an eye. Maybe somewhere they have been their for that long.

Some of us are gaining abilities, even memories. They could even be false, a vision, etc. There's plenty to speculate, but it's impossible to say they're something I forgot when it's not even of this time period.

That's what makes me think we're experiencing this overlap. If it's the case or at least close to it (which would be unbelievable), we're experiencing many universes at the same time in one defective location.

[tsunotarou]

So it wasn't my imagination that Mayview, MA didn't exist.

Like the forest, you mean?

That would mean that something is making all the universes collapse together, and they're coming together in this one we inhabit.

When you say you're gaining memories, are they from this same country or city? Or a different place, like Mayview?

[ape]

Precisely like the forest.

It's from a far away place, far away time, but something similar, from the little I've gathered. Have you been experiencing anything identical?

[tsunotarou]

I feel a shiver when I touch the trees, but nothing more.

How did you manage to gather that information when no one even remembers what happened yesterday?

[ape]

How so? Are you talking about the other citizens?

[tsunotarou]

Yes, them. They don't really react to me nicely.
