That's the power and weakness in hypotheticals. Maybe I would have changed your mind but then the whole world would be different. An undivided Avengers, a shift of power and maybe the outcome would have been the same in another way. Is it comforting to think of a better world or one made worse? Sometimes, I can't tell the difference.
The walls close in and those options start to limit. I can't charm Ayo enough to make her turn a blind eye to you. I think maybe I would if I could, which is a terrifying idea. I can see what's coming just as clearly as you can. And in spite of myself, I'm grateful too. Maybe I wasn't in the literal walls of a jail but sometimes that's how my life feels. I found that I've enjoyed myself with you and I never would have expected that.
Then that's what I'll hold onto. The world turned its way to bring our lives back together once. It can do it again, especially if we both push it along in the right direction.
