AHHHHHHH THE TIMELINES ARE CROSSING. PAM IS NOTICING THE DIFFERENCE. SHE FOUND THE COAT. MICHAEL IS IN A STATE OF SHENANIGANS. HELP. (I thought Michael tiredly forgetting not to show up to The Office was a nice nod to the incident during the MSPC arc.)

Katy still being right at the forefront of Pam's mind and the subtle ways her jealousy and feelings for Jim are poking their way through into her conscious is really deftly done. That's our denialist Pam.

I thought this was a quite tasty amuse-bouche!

Yes, time travel is messy and Doc Brown and Randall and any other characters who said not to toy with future events were absolutely right in that it creates results like these. But if it's Dumbledore we are looking to as our guide, he was well aware this is the intention of the time travel anyway.

Yes, still jealous of Katy but there was another reason that whole but was there. Another layer yet to come.

Always appreciative for your reviews and excitement.

So Past Pam is feeling out of sorts. Makes sense considering the night she had after getting back. A fight with Roy and all the implications that brought. Though if I remember, Pam did stand up to Roy in that fight. I can also easily see her holding onto the emotions from the fight now in the morning. I can also see that Roy thinks the fight is over and he can just go about his day. Though considering he all but ignores Pam maybe he's got some lingering feelings too? My guess, if he is still feeling anything, it would still be resentment towards her considering how he acted. Past Pam is also noticing some of the changes that have been going on. The furniture askew, the extra coat, disheveled Michael. She is an artist after all and has an eye for detail. Thing is even if she can see the details, the big picture sometimes eludes her, especially with her tendence to stuff feelings into boxes.

Future Pam though has had no choice but to look into some of those boxes. She's got the details and more and more the big picture is becoming clearer. Another big point is her realizing what the song is about. So, she's getting better at realizing what's what in her life.

It doesn't quite feel like the avalanche has hit yet, but it's clearly getting closer. Only a matter of time before no matter what she does it'll hit full force. Yet, Future Pam is now wiser, sees clearer, and to a degree has a bit more steel to her spine. Really looking forward to seeing how it holds up. Nice job.

I am trying to get what was meant to be the rest of this chapter out as soon as I can, because of all you point out and you'll see a few nods to things you've said (and written) and I'm anxious for you to see what they are. 

In the meantime- YES, YES, YES (TWSS in this response too).

Thanks for the continued investment in this one and your reviews always. They always make me happy to read.
