	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>âItâs fine.â Kate said surely.~~<br>~~
	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>âThank you, Sandy,â Future Aiden said, although as an observer he had no idea who the man was.Â As they rounded the manâs desk, he saw twin toddlers, a boy and a girl, hanging onto Sandyâs legs.Â âHello, Jay,â he greeted the boy.~~<br>~~		''Â <nowiki> </nowiki>She gave him a sidelong glance.Â âI want this, Aiden.â''
	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>âHello, Katie,â said Kate.~~<br>~~
	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>âSay hello,â Sandy instructed.Â Jay waved and Katie just smiled shyly as Sandy tapped into a different perspective on the Plaque.Â âDo you want to see them now?â he asked as he ushered Katie back before reaching into a file cabinet by his knees.<~~br>~~		''Â <nowiki> </nowiki>He felt himself nod.Â âThen I do, as well.â''Â What is this'', he wondered?''
	~~Â <nowiki~~> </nowiki>He removed a folder, partially pulled out the square diskette within, and gave both to Kate who held them at her chest.Â She sucked in her breath and held it a moment, eyes closed, face dipped to the floor.Â From what sheâd shared with her spouse in prior dreams, and from the lives heâd failed to save on Elistra, Aiden the observer felt he knew what she was feeling.Â Guilt, even though it wasnât her fault.Â Longing, even though what was lost was lost, not meant to be known.Â At least, by coming to Progressions, they would know some.~~<br>~~
	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>Aiden slipped an arm around Kateâs and squeezed.Â It was what he would have done.Â She faced him, then Sandy.Â âWeâll see them now.â~~<br>~~		<nowiki> </nowiki>''They entered the building and identified themselves to the representative, who directed them down a hallway to a room labeled Progressions.Â A man with long blond hair dressed in a faction overcoat looked up from a Plaque heâd been attentively reading at their entrance.Â He greeted them with a small, forlorn smile.Â âAs with most couples who partake in our service, I extend to you my welcomeâ¦ and my heartfelt condolences.Â If I can help you in any other way, I will.âÂ He considered a moment.Â âMy kids are hereâ¦â''
	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>Sandy nodded.Â âPlease, take a seat.â~~<br>~~
	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>The room lights dimmed to near darkness and an image lit up on the wall in front of them: the wrinkled face of a newborn.Â Their child.Â Kate gripped Aidenâs hand.Â The only sound was Sandyâs soft tap on the Plaque, moving to the next slide.Â The screen read, âFive Years,â then showed another face, a girl of five years with a full, childish grin, and a head of black curls.Â Without a doubt, Aidenâs child, though a birthmark under her right eye paralleled Kate.Â Sandy tapped.Â âTen Years,â read the next slide, then showing a slightly older girl with a shier smile, missing some teeth now, and straighter hair.Â At âFifteen Years,â she was more grown up, serious looking, looking very much like a daughter of the Talmid family.Â Like Evelyne, if she could have made it that far.Â ''In my dimension she did'', Aiden noted.Â At âTwenty Years,â Aiden froze stiff.Â His heart seemed to stop as he was gripped by a paralyzing recognition â even Future Aiden stopped breathing.Â Kateâs feel over his hand became warmer as his wound up going cold â she turned to him, noticing.Â Sandy proceeded to âTwenty-Five Years,â but Aiden managed to speak up.~~<br>~~		''Â <nowiki> </nowiki>âItâs fine.â Kate said surely.''
	Â <nowiki> </nowiki>âGo back to twenty.â~~<br>Â~~
	''This canât be right'', Aiden thought in shock, as the girlâs face reappeared.Â There was no way for Future Aiden to recognize the visage on the wall the way Aiden did now.Â Future Aiden hadnât been to Jirdia the last month.Â He wasnât trying to breach Unverse to find a daughter who wasnât born yet.Â His mission hadnât gotten sidetracked by the Code Gray, the Transdimensional associate of his Uncle Tiberius, in a war that hadnât started yet.Â He hadnât gotten introduced to her, learned Tiberius had rescued her from the Maelstrom, or knew she was called Lost.~~<br>~~		<nowiki> </nowiki>''âThank you, Sandy,â Future Aiden said, although as an observer he had no idea who the man was.Â As they rounded the manâs desk, he saw twin toddlers, a boy and a girl, hanging onto Sandyâs legs.Â âHello, Jay,â he greeted the boy.''

	''I have to be dreaming'', he thought.Â If so, he was lucid, which gave him opportunities.Â So many opportunities, but one in particular stood out.Â He wasnât sure at what point the memory had transitioned to an actual dream, but if it was possible that Lost was Future Aiden and Kateâs unborn daughter, lost in one dimension but born in another, he believed it, and he would believe what Kate would tell him when he asked her his question.~~<br>~~		''Â <nowiki> </nowiki>âSay hello,â Sandy instructed.Â Jay waved and Katie just smiled shyly as Sandy tapped into a different perspective on the Plaque.Â âDo you want to see them now?â he asked as he ushered Katie back before reaching into a file cabinet by his knees.''
