It's hard to say. That's not really how it works where I'm from... although I guess it did, in fact, happen once but that's a really complicated story that I technically wasn't around for.
But one scenario is that the timeline keeps going on, but you no longer exist in it. Maybe everyone's memories of you gets wiped or it's like you vanished. Another is that maybe that timeline just stops being a thing altogether.
[ the only time something like this happened with karkat, the timeline had gotten completely screwed over anyway and had to be completely retconned. thus, he does not remember it happening. ]
We gave him a general rundown. A lot of it was shit we had to explain to him since the general existence of certain people would not make sense otherwise.
[ he then quickly adds, ] But I think that kind of info should be given on a case by case basis? And based on whether or not they actually want to know the spoilers.

[Her frown can practically be heard in her words.]
So what happened to that friend who was two years behind? Did you guys...fill them in on what happened back home?

Thanks. For explaining--again. My friend's the first person from home that I've seen here, and I guess there's a lot I missed.

[ since that implies korra is the one... behind... ]
