Adia has not heard of karma before, but the concept is easy to understand. She sits back and listens to what Marie is willing to share with her. What answers could this woman be seeking? What poor decisions have led to her current troubles?

It's so tempting to tell Marie the truth. That this truly is the better timeline. But she suspects that the other woman would find a way to blame past mistakes on her current self. And it would certainly ruin whatever possibility there is for her to get back together with Jeff. She wants both of them to be happy.

"I know how you feel," she says quietly. "It is frustrating, to back away when you feel that drive to push forward." She looks at Marie curiously. "Can you put that drive into something else? You're a pokémon trainer, right?" She points to the decals on her jacket. "This might be a good time to give your pokémon some attention."
