An Impossible Second

Waiting patiently in my seat, I was having a conversation with a few acquaintances about the fight against the baron and how it went; obviously, I had to omit some details.

"How did you get the church to help you?"

"Come on bro, he's an Agnus. He got... what's the word?"

Despite me introducing myself to him, he saw me and still chose to sit in the same seat that he sat in the novel.

That proves my theory then. As long as I don't personally intervene with scenes from the novel, they should play out the way they should. What happens if I drastically change a scene and prevent a future one from occurring?
