Erin takes that offer, feeling absurdly grateful for it. Her cheeks burn, not that Helena can see it. "...Anyway. Fact. Three, right? Three: you can physically manipulate the environment of the past, but you can't seem to take it with you. I definitely had some of Ruby's things from her house and they are. Very not here now. And, fact four, the person whose past it was seems to remember both your visit and what I'll call the 'original' timeline, as if both happened. Which brings me to my baseless speculation." Erin squeezes Helena's hand softly. "Visitors have full continuity of memory; hosts have duplicate memories. I think they're dreams, in the sense that a square is a rectangle...fuck wait you don't do shapes...they're dreams the way a haiku is a poem but not a limerick. If you follow?"
