is changing the future different from changing the past?

It depends on the order it's done in. Time travel can be tricky.

does the order matter
if you're time traveling

Yes. One is more work than the other and the results aren't as readily obvious.

Though why the interest? Hoping to change your past or future?

which one?
i'm just thinking

you shouldn't change the past though

The future. When you return to the past, you'll never see your handiwork.

Why not?

oh
that's because

it might mess up the present

[He hadn't actually thought that hard about it before...]

And if the present isn't worth saving?

do you think it isn't?

Sometimes. The world isn't always a nice and kind place.

that's true
it's the world we live in though

we'll survive the bad things

So we should just accept those conditions? I'd rather change what I can.

i was told
the past shouldn't be changed

By who?

someone i knew

And they're worthy of such blind faith?

it's not my place to question them

All the more reason to. What did they do to deserve such obedience?

gave me a purpose

And what purpose was that?

does it matter?

Humor me. I'm curious.

fighting

Are you good at it?

[Because it might be good to know someone who is, if the coming events were as dire as everyone else seemed to say they were.]

yes

[Straightforward!]

I'll keep that in mind. Take care of yourself, Nakigitsune.

you too
