Kapitel 208: Divining the Fate of Schrödinger's Cat

"Let's break it down all the way to the basics," Marie commanded.

"This isn't necessary-"

Marie shot back with a stern glare that caused Krish to choke on his words. He could see that she wouldn't budge on this issue, not one bit.

"How do you mean?" Krish acquiesced with a sigh.

"Let me get this straight - correct me if I'm wrong," Marie prefaced. "In order to advance into Foundation Establishment, do I need to alter a Constant event or experience the backlash from the Universe?"

Krish frowned contemplatively and asked, "Is there a difference?"

"Definitely!" Marie affirmed.

"How so? To my knowledge, altering a Constant elicits a backlash from the Universe. The two events are tied together," Krish rebutted.
