Sometimes, being right isn't all that gratifying. In actuality, it can be devastating, especially if there's bad thing coming. Cooper wouldn't claim to have foreseen what would happen during those days; in fact, won't claim to be able to foresee anything. But he'd had a feeling, had been bracing himself, and yet he'd been completely unprepared for what happened and the things he saw.

"I don't know what to do", he tells his audio recorder (not Diane) later in the day, voice uncharacteristically choked. It's the simple truth in light of everything he can recall - actually recall, not just piece together, and that alone is worrying in a whole new way.

He's trying not to think about all that, not yet. And for the next few days he's still trying to clear his mind, even if his motions are distracted and his focus is shaky and his thoughts are stubborn and loud. Whatever is happening, it's escalating, but he feels powerless when it comes to stopping it or even figuring it out.

He wouldn't even assume he had the right question to ask, were he given the chance for an answer.

[Action for Justice Farm: When he wakes up the day he'd normally have been (mostly) mind-wiped, he's still exhausted. Most days will find him in the kitchen with his hands around a coffee cup and none of the usual enthusiasm for the beverage inside, staring distantly out the window with the look of someone who hasn't slept at all. It's a change from his usual demeanor, but whatever is going on in his mind, he doesn't seem all that inclined to share.]

[Audio, for the network, backdated to the 29th:] I'll keep it brief: who else can recall this weekend with a lot more clarity than the previous ones of its kind?

[Action for Saffron: He's around, so feel free to bump into him. He's been on quite a few walks lately. Walks are good.]

(KIND OF BACKDATED and spans all days from 4th wall end til like yesterday, so feel free to bump in with whatever, whenever!)

[He's out for a walk, because feelings, but he takes the call.]

I can.

... how much?

_{[I met your wife. Your daughter. And your killer. He doesn't voice any of those things, not yet, but it's ... definitely in his mind, and probably in his voice, much like the sadness is also evident in Harry's.]}

My wife.....

The creature from the town.

[But as to which one is more painful. Yeah the first one. It's been over twenty years and suddenly she was there again.]

_{[... Coop can tell. And he thinks he can understand, at least some. His voice is quiet when he speaks.]} I met her too.

...she said she met a few people before... before she found us again.

[Just so tired.]

I suppose I should have realized it was too good to be true.

No one can blame you for not thinking about it.

No. ...I suppose not.

[Impossible not to really.]

...at least Heather got to see her this time.

_{[Heather ...]}

How is she?

She's been quiet.

She still has you.

She does here.

[At home...not so much.]
