You receive a mysterious watch that allows you to return to one day in your past. You can change one thing—but you don't know what effect it will have on your future. Which day do you choose?
Michael: So it's real. One day, one change, and I don't know what happens after.
Ruth: That's terrifying. Which day are you choosing?
Michael: Honestly? The day I didn't ask my grandfather more questions about his life before he passed away.
Ruth: Michael, that's really moving. What would you change?
Michael: I'd just... ask. Sit with him longer. I was in a rush that day and I've regretted it for years.
Ruth: That's a beautiful choice, even without knowing what changes after.
Michael: What about you? What day would you pick?
Ruth: The day I didn't try out for the school swim team because I was scared of failing in front of everyone.
Michael: Wait, I never knew that.
Ruth: Nobody does. I've always wondered what would've happened if I'd just gone for it.
Michael: You could go back and try.
Ruth: And risk changing my whole future? What if I'm not friends with you anymore in the new timeline?
Michael: Okay, when you put it that way, maybe leave that day alone.
Ruth: Right? Some regrets are safer left as just... regrets.
Michael: Or lessons. I like “lessons” better.
Ruth: Fine. Lessons.
