Hm...nothing like a global effect that can read it, no. But there are people out there, psychics, who can see into the future supposedly and read into it. But for the most part people have to live without knowing what to expect.
Auldrant has something like that then? [ and because he's thinking about what she said: ] Does it have something to do with why you and Guy were traveling together?
...maybe I'm a little biased, but I think that's probably the best side to be on anyway. If you're the one living your life, why should something else dictate how it turns out?
You make it sound easy... Most people are really scared of the idea of living without any guidance, of making the wrong choices and screwing everything up, missing opportunities that could have been life-changing, things like that...
I think I only make it sound easy because I've never lived any other way. Everything that's happened in my life so far has been without guidance and just...y'know. Things that happened.
[ some choices he's made himself, and some made for him. ]
But with something like the Score, does it really tell you what the best future will be...? What if there's another choice that could change and make things better?
Well. You're not wrong. [ he easily agrees. ] ...somebody told me that the stipend we're supposedly getting at the end of this is enough money to cover the rest of our lives. I don't know if it's true or not, but...there's that, too.
[ he kind of doubts it's true, but also. he's been thinking about this a lot lately. ]

[ but instead they're here, and... she doesn't have to say goodbye so soon. at least to guy. and that's... kind of nice? despite everything.
but this thing about alternate timelines really is something... ]
... Shoma, does Earth have a Score?

Don't think so. What's a Score? Maybe we have something similar.

There's only one future written in the Score, so the idea of a world having more than one future is kind of shocking...
no subject
When it's written in the Score...is there really no changing it?

That's like, the debate of the century right now!

But I hope there is.
[ another, better choice. and a better future that follows it. ]

Okay. If you could actually pick how your future went, what would you choose for yourself?

Seriously? What would you even do just being married to a guy? [ what's the point of having money if you're not gonna use it!! ]

"If" is the operative word. I haven't asked the crew myself, but I don't want to take it at face value either without any proof.
