[he pauses to think about that — and his understanding of his power is as much thought as it is instinct, as much planning as it is improvisation. if the seconds passing by had a sound, he would certainly hear it, but it's more like a very strong feeling: the uncomfortable notion that it'll keep plodding forward at whatever rhythm suits it, even when he stops, as much as it's also a part of him.]
[visualizing this particular timeline is an instinct, too. he pictures a straight line speeding ahead like the contrails of a jet out in the blackness of space, with tendrils snaking out in all directions, meandering wherever they're inclined, but always snapping back into place at their points of origin.]
[he can see the potential in those time loops. it would be all too easy for him to branch off into one, to maybe shoot back in time to figure out what happened to this space station, or maybe jump forward to figure out where they're going. knowing how to close that meandering loop he'd make comes naturally, too.]
[he could do that, he's pretty sure. he doesn't get the impression that there's anything stopping him. but he won't.]
It's hard to say for sure without actually trying it. [stopping time isn't really his style like it is for other time players. but it might be a safer thing to test, if he's ever inclined to try.]

Same for you? Whatever it is you can do, I mean.
