"I was nearly four when it happened; I know about the Chernobyl disaster." Like Fernando, Jeanette, Elsa and Anna, Chihiro is not from this time.
 
"I was born in 1986." Jeanette puts things in perspective. "If we were transported the same year, you would be a few years older than me."

"It goes without say that Time Travel makes for sloppy book keeping." He says. "But the issue here is now that we are here, what are we to do, how we do it, and what is next. We can not be acting out in our ways. You Chihiro are not to be eating anything furry that you can catch with your hands, and anything you do eat you must inspect first. Elsa, you can not be showing off your powers or be out in the cold without a coat. It is all about appearances. And with all this anti-mutant sentiment I'm sensing, none of us are safe. But when we are done, we can go home."
 
He takes another bite from his meal before adding, "Since Asians can live up to 110, I can almost bet that the Adult Chihiro is still alive if she survived the events that created this world."

"What are we to do?" Jeanette asks. "Do our part in rebuilding this world. How? I'm not clear on that part. We need to rescue Gabrielle and teach her so she will grow to lead a social revolution. Chihiro is to find Baroness Louise. What's next? We go home."
 
"I got it, Fernando-san. Stick with catching fish."
 
"Mrs. Pointer is without a coat." Elsa states.
 
"Elsa," Moro says, "it is clear to everyone she is freezing without something warm to wear. Meanwhile, you were building a snowman while wearing a summer dress and when a man asked, you told him the cold doesn't bother you. We need to get you a coat for appearances."
 
The last thing Fernando-san said confused Chihiro. "What do you mean the adult Chihiro is still alive?"

"It's simple. If you rescue this character and their author, where do you go after you are done? If you are sent back to the past, you will live out your live in its history. Thus if you grow up and survive what happens to create this world, then there is a chance you will live to your race's near maximum age of 110. In fact, you should be in your 80s right now if you survived. The thing is, where would you be?" He tells Chihiro.
 
He takes another bite of his food, before pointing his fork at Jeanette, "This can go on for weeks, if not months. Teach Gabrielle what? First like you said, she needs to be rescued. Then she needs to be treated and healed, and according to the guff that is going on, no hospital is going to accept her because she is a mutant who's features can not be hidden. That alone can take weeks. Then we need to assess what education level she has - unless it is by accident, no illiterate idiot has ever made an entry into history, at least not without their self destruction. So teaching her what? That can take years; though that is the orphange's job and not ours. And like any mutant out there, she needs to learn to use her added ability for good and the benefit of whole of mankind, mutant or not, and not just for a selected few."
 
Then he points his fork to Elsa, "Hikaru can use my jacket to keep warm until she can get one that fits her. It will be large on her but it will keep her warm. I can handle the cold better than most so it won't bother me."

"Fernando," Hikaru asks, "if Chihiro is sent back, would that alter history even further? I know history has already been altered." She looks at Fernando and Moro, hoping one of them can answer.

Moro puts her napkin down. Hikaru had asked an important question that needs to be addressed. She speaks slower than normal so that every word is heard. "We, the Texas Spirits, wish to keep altering history to a minimal. Fernando, Jeanette, from our point of view you have always traveled to 2066. Bringing you here has fulfilled history, not changed it. Chihiro, we wanted you to find Baroness Louise in 1995; Yubaba released you in 2065. Once again, from our point of view, that has always happened."
 
"You wanted me to find the baroness in 1995?" Chihiro asks.
 
"Yes." Moro continues. "Jeanette, history was changed last night when you made the decision to return to your time. Fernando, history is being changed again when today you brought Anna here."
 
Something does not sound right to Jeanette. From her understanding of how this works, Moro should have mentioned a minimal of three instances in which history is changed. The third instance, of course, is Arendelle surviving to this day by bringing Elsa here. Jeanette still does not understand how bringing Elsa here saves Arendelle. Jeanette's point of view matches Fernando's, Napoleon's army froze to death but a kingdom, nevertheless, was divided. Hikaru said Anna was queen and that Arendelle survived all of the wars and the happening. Hikaru said that after Jeanette made the decision to return and yet before Fernando brought Anna here.
 
Jeanette poses a question to Moro. "Moro, by any chance did anything happen last night?"
 
"Such as?" Moro asks.
 
"Oh, I don't know, did something happen last night resulting in a kingdom being saved?"  
 
"Yes." Moro answers.
 
"Hikaru. I told you this morning not to reveal anything in your copy of the journal I'm writing so I'm not going to ask. I find it interesting you know what is to happen and yet you were freezing because you didn't pack any warm clothes in your suitcase."
 
Jeanette turns to Fernando. "Fernando . . . by any chance is it possible for Arendelle to survive the Napoleonic wars, all of the wars that followed and the happening simply because I made the decision to return home when the mission is over?"
 
Moro sits there quietly, drinking her beer. Lucy got some splainin to do.

"I can not say anything while the girls are here. But I can say, following the United Kingdom's and France's examples- though their ruling thumb has been removed, their influence still remains. Independent nations still seek out their former leaders' advice and in times of disasters, they are the ones that comes to the rescue first. For example - India, former colony of the UK, though there are some 75 Indian languages and 9 different religions, English is the predominant language, the Cast system was removed, in the last 3 earthquakes and Tsunami's that hit them in the 1990s - 2010, Great Britain sent aid to them first before the USA and the UN came in. You could say the same thing about a certain unmentionable kingdom. But your actions and decisions should not sway them in any way unless the girls learn something from you that they would never know by their normal means of education."
 
He takes a bite of his steak with some potato and his water before he adds, "Lets take toilets. The Flushing toilet that Elsa and Ana use here and now was not invented until the 1840s in London England by Mister Shitter. But because he could not figure out the necessary indoor plumbing, he sold his idea to Mr. Crapper. Mr. Crapper fell into the same trap - truth be told the buildings of the time were too small to have indoor plumbing. But he figured out that in bigger buildings like a palace or in the first floor of most buildings you can install a flushing toilet, or in their words - a Privy. Thus the idea caught on and buildings were torn down and replaced or rebuilt to accommodate indoor plumbing. Since then, everyone had indoor plumbing and a flushing toilet. Kitchen sinks, bathtubs and showers came later. But all this started in London England. If Elsa and Ana returns to their time, will the toilet be invented in Arendelle because they have knowledge of the device and how it sorts woks? It would be interesting to say the least. Mr. Shitter's and Mr. Crapper's names would not be connected to the invention they help create, but somebody else's name might be. Yes, they were real people with those names. But I do not think that they having working knowledge of a working toilet would effect the outcome of their kingdom. I seriously doubt the Chamber Pot Revolution would do anything. I can't see soldiers being hit by flying rolls of toilet paper falling to the ground and crying for a medic. But maybe, just maybe, as adults, the girls could influence Mr. Shitter's and Mr. Crapper's work with some economic incentives to figure it out and everyone living happily flushing after in Arendelle. I can see the license plate - 'First To Flush.'"

Chihiro considers what Hikaru said about altering history further. "Fernando-san, according to history, Shizuku Tsukishima disappeared in 1995. I researched the incident so I have an understanding of the frenzy her disappearance has created. The Charlton library has a copy of Whisper of the Heart signed and stamped by the author after she disappeared so we know she is here. What will happen to history if Shizuku Tsukishima is sent back to her time? I can think of a few things that will not happen."

"People disappear everyday, there is no issue on that. The problem is the circumstances in which she disappeared - the Why. And if you find her now - will she be over 100 years old? Or was she teleported here like we were and still the same age when she was in 1996? And why was she teleported? By whom? And what will happen if she returns depends on how long was she here. What has she learned here and now that if taken back could alter the events of history? Would she want to return? What if when you find her, she wants to be left alone? Many artists do that after achieving fame. Too many questions to answer for now. I'm not here to rescue lost people, but that is what I am doing. Is it fair to me? Right now I do not care. The Spirits want it their way in this game but they forget, this is not their ball to play with. It's owner will come and take it away from them. How they react to that remains to be seen." He explains.

"Fernando," Moro says, "you are not here to rescue lost people."
