[ "crippling debt"... even though its true, he still winces a bit every time he hears it. it's also a little depressing that the idea of him actually becoming successful is so weird that milla's immediate response is that must be the divergence catalyst.

I guess we need to look into it more... I'm not sure what to do if it turns out I'm the catalyst this time. [ okay, he knows what he has to do, but that's going to be very weird. since clearly they are from a pre-victor canon point. ]

It might be something else too though. [ him becoming rich just might be the normal progression of events okay!! ] For now, we should probably investigate... me.

[ wow that sounded kind of narcissistic. ]
