"They don't know who you are," Heimrich says as they walk under the trees. "And they don't want to know. They don't want to think that there's anything good in you. They see Vengeance as a monster that took Duncan from them. If you want to prove that there's more to you, and how much you want to prove you're desire to change, we have to use the few days we have wisely." He notably does not disagree with Vance's inward look at his past self, even before he had met Scotti, and is brutally honest with how Scotti's friends and Duncan's family saw Vengeance because it had to be plainly said for Vance to move forward. He knows full well that Vance already feels the same, which is why it must be not just accepted, but moved past. Vance isn't Vengeance. This is a fresh start, one that Vance is fully focused on and must not dwell in the past, as easy as it might be.

Moving past the trauma and accepting what he once was, leaving it behind in this fresh start. But it won't mean much if he gets killed now... So these next few days will have to do. He needed to be ready. Though he had an advantage, he has carefully watched and noted the abilities of everyone that hated him while he was at the Citadel, they have had no idea what he is capable of now.

Though in fairness, neither did he. Not fully.

Future Vance focussed on teaching his past self how to use Remove and Rule Maker, while Vance mostly taught himself how to use his new powers to create and recreate things he used in the past or needs now. But getting some more training in the real world would be best, he isn't used to using his power out here yet.

"So this is gonna be alot of me reacting to the Mentat again but in the Real World, right? Since the world pushes back against my powers we need to train it to lessen the fatigue... Or to train me to just survive long enough to talk to Scotti." Vance says as he grimaces. He didn't know if he could use his hate to fight Scotti... It was easy with Samantha, hell it would be easy with Felix and Tobbi. But her? He didn't know how he was going to handle it.
