Practical Philosophy, Monday

The weather had improved, at least in terms of temperature, and the clouds overhead didn't look like they were going to burst. So Ender had directed his class to the lawn again, where he sat in the grass with the bag of sandwiches by his side.

"So," he said, "How do you feel about the future now?"

That was all.

Get settled, talk without the teacher watching you.

From the future.

So how do you feel about the future now?

If she's around.

Who seems to be in a decent mood.

Evan Sabahnur

"I don't remember much," Evan offered, his cheeks flushed with pink as he thought back on how he'd woken up that morning, "it's already getting kind of hazy. But I do remember that I seemed pretty okay with who I am. I... I mean... it was like I knew. Whatever else twenty years does for me, at least I managed to pull together an identity of my own in that time."

Paddra Nsu-Yeul

She was around and smiling. The weekend had not been bad at all.

"I found it interesting that..." Yeul trailed off and shrugged slightly. "I had not expected the island to still feature in my life in any way. That it did was curious."

Being that she'd been two lifetimes down the line.

Ender smiled. "That's one of the advantages of old age," he said, "The upside to becoming slow and unchanging is that we tend to build up a sense of identity for ourselves that's unchangeable."

"In my experience, the island has a habit of sticking to you like glue even when you don't want it to," Ender mused. "It's not as curious as you might think."

"Perhaps not to you," Yeul said agreeably. "I can only speak of my own experience."

"Why do you find it curious?" Ender asked.

Cassidy

Yeul tilted her head, considering the question.

"The island's power had a longer reach than what I expected," she said.

Cade

Cade shrugged. "It was kind of fuzzy."

"You thought it wouldn't be able to reach you?" Ender said.

"No startling revelations about the future?" Ender asked wryly.

"I think I had more tattoos," Cade offered.

"Something to aspire to," Ender said.

Bay Kennish

"I kind of kicked ass," Bay volunteered. "I mean, like everybody else said, I don't remember every little detail, but I worked in art and liked it, and I was single but not sobbing or desperate about it. It seemed like Old Bay liked her life. No crab seasoning pun intended."

And that was mostly true. She was a little bothered she wasn't a famous artist, but mentioning that would feel like whining.
