He could have been a quantum physicist who took a sabbatical to his hometown to teach for a semester. Just because he was a science teacher in Port Haven in 2023 didn't mean he had to be a full-time teacher. He's been guiding Kat and Alice every step of the way, and with each setback, his calm assurance that you must let play out what was meant to be was taken as fact.īut little things can change the future, and once Alice was gone from his life in 2000, it's possible that if he hadn't felt trapped, he might have had an entirely different life. That's why he's been so certain that you cannot change the past. Instead of pushing boundaries, he let the road Alice drew for him guide his way. For a scientific fellow, it seems he failed to test the theory that science is ever-changing. It's disappointing that he's been so laser-focused on his future that he never managed to carve out his own existence without it.

Since the moment someone told me my future, my life has been.Įlliot has been an essential part of Kat and Alice's journey thus far because of that experience, and they wouldn't have made it without his help. But you never had to go through that, Kat! Since the moment someone told me my future, my life has been ruled by the past, and I'm happy to be here, where I always knew I would be, even if I only had a very little part in the decision. I'm sorry that you have to be a part of all of this now.Įlliot: I've always been a part of it. I am the root of all the bad things that happened to my family.Įlliot: Kat! Stop! You have to let it go. It's not easy discovering your future was already mapped out for you when you've yet to chart your own path in life.

When you take the whole picture into account, it makes sense that he'd want to go in this direction.
