Wow, what a shocker honestly. There exists a world with a happy version of me, one that isn't hampered by the mental languish of the SHL. One that has never met and never will know who @James Truong is. That is a version of me I would want to meet and hope to one day become.

In my alternate universe tale, the breaking point isn't on this current player. It's back in S39, in a world where Nuck doesn't have a meltdown about a losing team and a copypasta meme. This world where I finish out my career of simming and give up the SHL for good as I had planned. I read more, I'm likely a lot more intelligent in that world honestly. I could be more fit too, not taking time on SHL, I may be continuing my old workout regiment.

This is a world that has a lot less stress, truthfully. Who knows what else I've gotten into at that point, but the simplest fact is that I have deviated heavily from this path I am on.

If it has to be about the player I'm on currently, I don't even know. He probably has a slighly different name, I almost named him Jasper instead of Jesper. He probably is a defenseman, as that was the original plan. He probably is on Regina, the team that originally held the number one overall pick in the SMJHL draft, rather than trading it they held on for him. I can't make many grand statements about him, it's only a couple seasons into his career. However there are definitely some differences that would be noticeable at first glance.
