Have you ever thought about what if things turn out like the way you dreamt that one time, where the samurai had successfully erased you from existence? What if it was meant to be like that? What makes you so sure that you’d still win despite the odds are against you?

For a long moment, Aku was silent except for the tap tap tap of a clawed finger on the armrest of his throne.

“If you must know, I have thought of it many times. And I have concluded that it was my own foolishness that allowed the Samurai to slay me. 

If I have seen the vision, would it not suggest to you that I was meant to prepare myself and take different actions in the future? Actions to avoid the missteps that occurred in the alternate timeline? 

I do not know for certain what my fate shall be, but it will not be the same as I have seen in my nightmare.”
