Good. I'm glad.
[He pauses before sending the next text message, deliberating over what to say, before deferring to what he feels is right.]
Look, I know you didn't want me to know so I'm not about to bug you about it or anything. I just thought you deserved to know that I know.

Not everybody understands that. Even the ones that say they do sometimes don't.
Knowledge like that makes a person second-guess themselves. Make comparisons to a person they can never meet, and never be. Everyone deserves to be their own person. I've seen how it plays out too many times.
That's why I keep my ghosts to myself.

I've heard about three different versions of myself already. This just makes a fourth.
[He's totally full of it; Bart's version of Jaime absolutely made him second guess himself, but... hopefully the one Ruka knew wasn't evil.]
When it comes to talking to people about different versions of themselves you could do worse than me.

"Doing worse" isn't much of a credit to your abilities, Jaime.
It's a great deal more complicated than, "I met a guy with your face, but a different history." We can't say, oh, this version is from the Unrepentant Asshole dimension, and that version is from the Made For TV Movie dimension.
Knowledge changes things.

Sure it does. But not always for the worse. One of my best friends is someone who's best friends with another me and that worked out pretty great.
Though I'm guessing the one you knew wasn't from the Unrepentant Asshole dimension or else he'd be a pretty tough guy to be friends with.

At least you're still a smartass.
The answer is six and a half years. I was exported once, when I was twelve, and on my end it was for a single day. On this end, maybe two weeks passed at the most. There is nobody who's been around longer than me. The only ones with a comparable time-frame are middle-aged men at varying saturations of asshole.
It absolutely lessens the importance of having them, when not a single one lasts.
