` Fascinating ! Other than the apparent presence of doppelgangers and the unraveling of temporal seams , what else seems amiss ?

I must say , The city is still familiar to me , but something feels distinctly off - I simply cannot pinpoint the issue . `

Hm ! It appears that there was a unique celestial alignment recently . I do hope that people took the opportunity to appreciate the beauty beyond our clear skies .

( * 💧 )

` There are procedures with every request given to the council , even if my approval may be weighted more than the rest .

All we could do is manage our time better , hm ? You two go and enjoy yourselves today ! `

` I am simply advising you that regardless of absence or not , is your mind truly present , especially in the midst of an important decision ?

If the answer is no then , , you must reconsider . Hm ? `

` Ah , of course, Viktor .

I was waiting for an explanation from anyone present prior to the argument , but it would seem that various matters have hindered that . `

` A mind filled with turmoil is never a good sign of progress . No no no.

That can be a warning for what is about to come .

Good show , both of you ! I have never felt so alive in decades !! Hm-hm

Oh dear , oh goodness

( * Carrying his poro out of harm's way ! )

We must stop this at once !

A · ah ! My apologies ! Curiosity got the better of me , and such debacle has always been a form of entertainment .

Though ..

I do require an explanation and a recall of the timeline of recent events !

And I do ... Want to see the outcome of this spontaneous argument ( * 🌀 )

W · wait !! ( 🌀 )

... most concerning , what has gotten into them ?

Holy sprockets ...

And an explanation is in order , right after I gather my bearings 🌀

By the ethos – !!!

` A constant trial and error , it would seem . Brilliance should not overlook accuracy !

It is a good thing you are there to aid him . `
