Before I could see more, I came back.
Henry put his sleeve against my nose; I apparently had a nosebleed, dyeing his white clothes red.
Preserving my consciousness while obtaining a vision was more energy-consuming than without.
This surely wouldn't be the case if I 'flipped the table' and used the shiny violet coin, but I wouldn't want to touch that power again unless it was absolutely necessary.
"What did you see?" Henry asked.
"I think I saw the office worker in a parallel world, the one we heard about in the news."
"The ones that disappeared from here a year ago?"
"Yeah." I moved his hand away and got toilet paper to hold it to my nose.
"Wash the sleeve out with cold water." I commanded, and Henry turned on the faucet while I continued.
"If they disappeared a year ago, why is your nearest counterpart with them?"
"Maybe they went from one world to the adjoining one, or into more, and where they currently are is now the closest to us?" Henry suggested.
