"That's..."



"Pearl and I talked about this in a related question that was unfortunately lost, but if you want me to go into more detail about what I think, then...I think..."

"...A lot would have been different. My mother didn't have a huge impact on the happenings outside of home, so not a lot would have been different if she survived. But if my dad didn't die, I wouldn't have any reason to get a jump start on the Blitz Pit. It would have been at least two or three more years before I would join. I would probably be training under him, which would have been great, but I'd lost those years of experience I had when he did pass on."

"I wouldn't have met the friends I currently have. Speedy, Violet, Lucy, I met them when I fought in my first tournament. Tab, Gizmo, Kitty, I would never have met them if it weren't for Lucy. Neo, Jenny, Splice, I don't know if I'd ever have gotten wrapped up with them if I was staying home most days. Kyle, Keela, Thunder and his bros, Daz, Cymbeline...I wouldn't have ever given them a second glance."

"If I wasn't there for those guys, certain crooks would have been off the hook, too. Jenny would've been forced to marry a spineless sleazebag, Sally (Tyrantia, not Acorn) would have gotten away with murder, Splice would have still been living in fear of the Black Rose and likely wouldn't have ever mustered up the courage to face them, and worse...Pearl wouldn't have adopted Sandy. Sandy would have been taken into the Black Rose Orphanage, instead."

"My life would have remained relatively normal, so I wouldn't have gotten caught up in all the mysteries and adventures that I did once I put myself out there. My dad probably would've had all the fun, till I was old enough at least. But even then, I'd probably have missed my chances to meet with all my friends, and instead make new ones. I don't know what kind of people I'd have befriended, but I can't imagine going on without my gang."

"Come to think of it, I don't think I'd have met Thunder, either. And if I didn't meet Thunder when I did, then that means I wouldn't have--..."


 * sigh* "I wouldn't have met Luna. I think that's what hurts the most whenever someone asks me if I ever wished that my parents never died. It's a cruel thing to make me decide."

"I don't want to think about who else I'd end up with, so I won't go there. But I know that if my dad were still alive, he more than likely would be the one to take my place in leading people on investigations regarding the Black Rose, the monster in the city sewers, the mysterious shadow demon creature things, etc. I have no doubts that he'd have been able to handle any of them. In fact I would have loved his help several times back then."

"I...I don't want to think about what would happen if he'd encountered Skull Cross on his own. I was lucky to get outta there alive, let alone in one piece. I don't know if he'd have the same luck. Adding onto that, Skull Cross would have surely gotten away with everything. I can only hope that Thunder and Kyle would have been able to save Marina..."

"So there you have it, I suppose. That's what I think about the difference my parents living would have made. I miss them to death, but if it ever came down to it, I couldn't bring myself to sacrifice so much in order to bring them back."

"...I wonder if...if dad would have ended up sacrificing himself for us to hold off Velious when we were escaping from the Inverse Mobius..?"

"......"
