universe automatically made the box larger to encompass the new thing.  All interactions are things and things need space.”
    “I said, things need space and it takes time, but your point?”  Renfield asks.
    “I’ve tried my whole life to take consideration of the things I do because of that statement.  But then you went on.  You proved that as I wave a finger through the air I change billions of things that are going to happen.”  Brian pauses and considers his next words.  “You made me afraid to move!”  He bursts as his face goes noticeably red.
    “Your cousin makes you move.  I am proud that you consider before acting, but they are right.  You have to learn to do both, faster.  She is that side of you.  You’re becoming something greater, Brian.”  Renfield replies.  “You couldn’t be here now if that weren’t the case.  You have your…”  Renfield waves a hand.  “When did you come from this time?”
    Brian gives him an odd look.  “Why do you care, you’ve been ahead of me the whole time in all time, so you know the answer and I know you already read it from me.”
    Renfield sits, “I don’t trust what I hear that way as much as speech, anymore.  Things have changed.  It’s been so many years since that day.”
    Brian answers swiftly, “And yet that day is coming for you.  Get it right this time.  What makes you so sure that you even know which day matters?”
    Renfield says, “Without that day, none of us exists.  There is nothing to traverse.”
    “You really believe that?”  Brian snorts.  “Do you think we should all exist?  You’ve been doing this for so long and yet I am here, and now there is Phillip.”
    “You’re beginning to sound like your mother and Stephen.”  Renfield replies.  “This universe created all of us.  We are it.  It is we.  As we are I and I am we.”
    “Hmmm, paraphrasing the Beatles or ancient Native Americans?”  Brian asks.
    “The list is long when it comes to religions and musicians.”  Renfield replies.  Some begin to understand.  Religions form around them like fans do around musicians.  It’s the same song.  We are one.”
    Brian looks serious for a moment as he looks down at his feet and the ground below it, “So you are referring to the concept of Kumbaya?”  He looks at Renfield as he tosses what has become, unlike him, long locks, from his eye, so he can see the reaction on Adam’s face.
    Adam responds, “The same concept is echoed throughout.  One cannot say one is right or wrong if they are all the same once it is understood.”
    Brian looks at Renfield, “So what is it we are supposed to understand?”
    Renfield peers at him, “All of it.  And there will be a moment it will be all at once.”
    Brian retorts, “You truly believe that, don’t you.  But you still don’t know.  If you knew, you wouldn’t be subtly asking me questions to figure out when I am from this time or where I am going.”  Brian paces the floor for only three steps in each direction then adds, “You know I am aware of Stephen now.  You know my wife is dead.  You know a lot of facts, as do I of you.  What you still want to know is the answer.”  Brian stops abruptly as he hears Renfield.
    “Brian, I understand.  I know where you grew up and I get that it was not…”  Renfield searches for the right word, and unlike him he is unable to find it.
    “You sent Bob there!  You!  Then…”  Brian holds his temper in check.
    “Could you be what you are if I hadn’t?”  Renfield calmly asks.
    Brian snaps back, “You would think you would get it by now, Renfield.  It sucks when you put yourself in the center of the universe because you become the thing everyone wants to punch.  You end up with two choices, take the punch and smile or hit back.”  He looks hard at Renfield and then calms.
    Renfield replies, “People punch themselves.”  Renfield turns knowing that Brian is about to click away.  Renfield
