I'm going to just put this random sentence here...
____________________________________

        "Add? Can you hear me? Please tell me you aren't dead," Time could be heard saying.

        "If I was dead, you wouldn't exist," Add muttered as he slowly opened his eyes. He still felt light headed but managed to slowly sit up. It was then that past events made their way into his thoughts. "(Y/n)," he said in alarm.

        "She's fine. Esper somehow got Reikon to go away," Time said, glancing over in (y/n)'s direction. Add looked over to her only to find her being held by Esper and asleep in his arms. Esper himself was wide awake and stared right back at Add.

        "Is she okay?" Add asked. Esper simply nodded. For once, Add seemed to be perfectly okay with him being so close to her especially since Esper had actually managed to save (y/n) this time.

        "We need to wake her up in order to time travel though. Let's make this quick so that we can figure out what we need to change if we fail," Time instructed.

        "Stop saying that we'll fail on the first try. If you keep saying that, then it will actually happen," Esper imsisted. He shook (y/n) awake before Time could say anything back to him. She looked around for a moment before realizing what was going on. When her gaze stopped on Add and Time she immediately left Esper's arms and tackled the both of them in a hug.

        "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to almost kill you guys!"

        "It wasn't you, it was Reikon," Time spoke.

        "It's okay. It wasn't necessarily your fault to begin with," Add joined in.

        "But we need to face her again and we need to make sure that you're ready to do that before leaving." (Y/n) let them go and stared at Time who had just ruined the moment.

        "There's no way possible that we can get close enough to Reikon without getting ourselves killed," (y/n) said.

        "We won't but you can. She wouldn't kill herself. All you'd have to do is draw some blood or get it on your sleeve...or something," Time muttered.

        "Are you sure that you're Add from the future? You're a bit too different in the way that you think things through," (y/n) skeptically questioned.

        "What? Why'd you say that?" Time asked.

        "Your plan is crazy. I'd never think of something so reckless," Add answered instead of (y/n).

        "Reikon has already shown us that she cares nothing about preserving herself which means that (y/n) does. Reikon's goals are the exact opposite of (y/n)'s goals which means that Reikon would likely kill (y/n) whenever she gets the chance," Esper added before Time could say anything.

        "And Reikon will likely already know what we're planning since she knows everything that (y/n) knows and if she doesn't, she'll just read our minds," Add put in his take on the matter again.

        "Alright, I get it. Not the best plan in the world, but it's the only one we've got. I have to save (y/n) no matter what. I'm not giving up and I don't want to fail anymore," Time snapped before Add or Esper pointed out any more flaws in his plan. However, his words triggered an uncomfortable silence among them.

        "How many times have you come back and tried this with us?" (y/n) dared to ask. Time seemed caught off guard by the content of her question but he sort of knew one was coming.
"You might as well tell me or else I'll just find out myself," she threatened.

        "Fifty-seven times. I didn't think I'd still be here to try again to be honest," Time said, avoiding her gaze.

        "So what you're saying is that you've tried this before and it doesn't even work?" Esper growled.

        "No, not this particular plan and it will work, it has to. This is the first time Reikon has shown up before we go to Esper's time period to get a blood sample which means that Add and I aren't even the same person anymore. We're different enough for my timeline to start disappearing along with me," Time reasoned.

        "So that's why Reikon said that Esper was already dead. He's going to disappear too," (y/n) realized.

        "Is there any sort of percentage or measure of our possible success rate?" Add asked.

        "Yes but none of you are going to like these odds," Time admitted.

        "Tell us anyway. If I disagree, I'm going to find some other way to save (y/n)," Add said.

        "Our chances of successfully bringing back a blood sample is 25% and the chances of either side effect for (y/n)'s treatment is 50%. The chances that the cure works are 100%. The chances that we all die is 45%. The chances that only one of us lives is 45%. The chances of that single survivor being Add is 100%. The chances that two of us live is 10%. The chances that the possible survivors are Add and I are 25%, the chances that they are Add and Esper are 35%, and the chances that they are Add and (y/n) are 40%. Regardless of what happens, Add will always be one of the survivors if there are any," Time said. (Y/n) slapped him, tears running down her face.

        "You knew that someone was going to die and yet you said nothing to us about it. How could you not even so much as warn us?" she snapped as she silently cried.

        "I only wanted you to live. If it meant leaving out a few details, then I was willing to do it," Time said, still mot meeting (y/n)'s gaze. He didn't seem to have any remorse either.

        "There's a chance of you're survival, and I'm willing to take it even if it kills me. Like Reikon said, I'm already dead. Once I return to my timeline or simply reach the time that I left my own timeline, I'll disappear. I'd rather die saving you than regret not saving you," Esper decided.

        "I...I'm sorry (y/n), but I can see why Time didn't tell us. This really is our only option and I can't sit here and ignore it," Add spoke.

        "I know," (y/n) whispered. Add hated seeing her cry like that, but he also hated her having to worry about her own life.

        "Let's go then. No need to wait any longer if we already know what's ahead of us," he said. "And (y/n)...no matter what happens, I will always love and appreciate you," Add thought. He didn't care if (y/n) was aware of his thought or not. He just wanted to make sure that he at least thought it before possibly losing her or even himself.
