Michael's gaze sharpened slightly. "If you touch their fate now, will it affect them?"
Jester was silent for a second before replying. "Based on the knowledge I currently possess, it should."
Michael's expression changed slightly.
Jester continued before he could misunderstand. "It should affect them, but not necessarily in a harmful way. At least not if the interference is minor. My current understanding suggests that light contact with a thread causes only subtle adjustments. The danger increases only if the interference becomes forceful, repeated, or directed toward a major outcome."
Michael thought for a moment. So it wasn't harmless. But it also wasn't automatically dangerous. That made sense. In the end, fate was still fate. Anything related to it couldn't be treated casually.
Still, his curiosity was already fully awake.
