Somewhere, in a parallel universe, there was a version of Pepper with perfect posture and tailored suits, who answered the attorneys’ questions with confidence and poise. But not in this one.
Pepper spends a lot of time imagining alternate versions of herself, but for Pepper, many of those versions are really just fantasies about being a better or happier person. It’s not just that Pepper’s life is different in those fantasies—she herself is fundamentally different because she’s free of her insecurities. It’s an interesting question to pose: how might your life be different if you’d made different choices at various points? Are those versions of you happier and more fulfilled, and if so, is the reason purely circumstantial or because of a fundamental difference in your alternate self’s personality?
