Summary
“After you, Princess,” Ulrich says, cutting into her thoughts. He’s holding the door open with all the air of a dignified knight, though the act is broken when his face splits into a grin. She shakes herself from her thoughts and sends him a soft smile in response.
“My hero,” she says, an old and familiar exchange, but this time Ulrich’s cheeks tinge pink. Her own stomach flutters briefly with butterflies—it’s new and recent, this way she feels around Ulrich sometimes, and she’s been holding that feeling closely and carefully, waiting to put words to it.

Summary
"Maybe we don't go back in time at all. Maybe we move to a different universe where none of it happened."
Odd is sleep-drunk, mouth slack and eyes drifting closed. "Huh. Is that better or worse than going back in time?"
That gives Ulrich pause. He isn't sure.
"There's no functional difference," says Jeremie, still looking at Ulrich. "But maybe it depends whether you prefer to undo mistakes or just start over. Whether you dream in possibilities."
