[@Carlsberg] Because Parfex's original idea was to have Dissonance and Vega gain powers around the same time (Age 17/18) to build up a rivalry between the two of you before the time skip happened for his character. But your character's powers developed when your character was about 22 according to a previous post by you and your CS's history. Giving Dissonance 3 years of heaving her abilities. It was after that that Parfex mentioned the alternate universe, and I believe that it would be confusing as fuck and spiral out of control having to try and deal with two separate realities for our characters when only a single character would have had any form of contact with said alternate characters.
