[ He doesn't like being told he isn't thinking clearly. There's an almost exasperated uneven sigh on his end. The different perspective creates Oswald as the one being paranoid instead of Ed being irrationally accepting of something.

You're misunderstanding. I'm aware this is not the same exact version. Her arrival here creates a paradoxical situation. She can not be both alive and dead in the same universe. However, this is Kristen Kringle, regardless of whatever version she may be. There is clearly enough parallel events on her timeline to lead to an almost exact replica of how she would look, act and react in the way a version of her would have from our own.

I am not proposing we trust her with sensitive information. Simply that if she reacts negatively to you, I may be able to reason out a positive outlook.
