163: Hindsight is 20/20

[Translated with the Yamagato Industries FastTrans Japanese-to-English Translator, version 2.3.5]

It is very true that after the fact, everything that has happened before is clear. In the future, doubt is a thing of the past, unlike when living in the present. It has long been a frustration of humankind, the ability to look at where you've been and being unable to change what you've done when can so clearly see what should have been. Everyone, at some point in their lives, will see the outcome of an action and regret it.

But no one will be able to go back and do something the way I can. No one can change what they did so that what will happen will be different than what had happened. Except me.

Of course, it is not as easy as it seems. At first I thought it was. I jumped from Tokyo to New York instantaneously! I saw what was going to happen and came back to stop it, to warn others. That is the benefit of my power. I can save millions of people, a whole city!

But what if I do not? If I fail ... will I survive to try again? To go back in time and do things I should have and avoid things that stopped me from succeeding?

Or maybe it's something that can't be changed, no matter what. Like Charlie.

No. I may not have been able to save her, but that does not mean I can't save New York. Why else would I have gone there, at that moment, if not to learn what happens so I can change it?

I will stop it. I will save New York. It is my destiny, and I know that. Because I have come back from the future to say so. Or I will.

Now I just have to find that sword.

The moral of the story is ... (TM #151)

Moral? *looks at Ando, confused* "Moral" 何?あ〜、そう!

Lesson! Yes, I learn very important lesson in Las Vegas!

I have ... *leans and whispers* secret powers. I bend space-time continuum. *puffs up chest proudly* Long story how I know, but in future, I'm hero! So I think, I'm hero now too, ね? I save girl in Tokyo, so I'm super-Hiro! I come to USA to save New York. BIIIIIG boom. I will stop it. Because I am hero, I use power for good.

まだ、here in Las Vegas, Ando-kun convince me to use my powers to help him win. To cheat. I thought it was okay at first, since we have no American money. But then we cheat wrong man, and end up tossed out of car in middle of dessert! This I learn, never to do again. A hero does not cheat people! It is very bad form!

But there is greater lesson. I get back to hotel, meet Ando-kun at car. But then the man we cheat picks us up and takes us to game to cheat for him! I didn't want to, but I have no choice. But then in middle of game, Ando-kun sees a gun under the table, pointed right at us! So he pushes me into トイレ - あのう *thinks* ... bathroom - and says we have to leave right now! Or else we're dead! Only outside, we hear someone come in, screaming and the door cracks and there's blood seeping in.

I am not hero. I am too scared to help them. They are all dead, I think. What kind of hero get scared? I tell Ando-kun, maybe I am not hero. Not like Spock. But Ando-kun teaches me important lesson - moral, ね? Not all heros can do good all the time at first. I have to learn, like X-Men! I must learn to control my powers. Then, I will be great hero, greater than Superman! I just have to learn patience. And to make sure I use powers only for good. No more cheating. *nods resolutely*

Because I am Super-Hiro, Master of Time!
