Certainly a year ago, a world away, he would have. Silco was different then too. More desperate. Clawing at the very structure of worlds and lashing out at them all like a maddened, violent thing. Like a creature that was gasping his dying breaths and trying so hard to lash out at anything that would have stopped him.
Here he is... different.
Not more trusting, not softer, but...
But there are still things that he has... accepted. Jinx is here, and she is different too, though he cannot see the shape of her. He is still calculating, and mean, and violent. But even so...
There are mirrors here. He can see parts of himself reflected in them. He finds them... not unwelcome. ]
Everything in my life has been change. I was a very different, when I was a boy. Weak, even. All dreams, and unwilling to do what was necessary to achieve them. Even now, I am different than I was before, where I was before.
