The Seven Year Slip

As they walk toward Washington Square Park, Iwan tries to make amends for how he acted after their meeting, and the two start to again become friendly toward one another. Clementine continues to notice all the ways he has both changed and stayed the same, and wonders if he would consider her a friend in this timeline.

Clementine and Iwan arrive at a bright yellow food truck called “Yo Mama’s Fajitas” that Iwan’s friends Miguel and Isa own. Iwan introduces Clementine as Lemon, saying they are old acquaintances. Clementine realizes that these are the same fajitas that he made her the first night they met, which he had told her was the recipe of a friend whom he was going to convince to get a food truck. Clementine sees more of the old Iwan in him as he jokes around with his friends. They talk about the past as they eat their fajitas, and Iwan mentions how his grandfather passed shortly after he started at the Olive Branch. Iwan seems to Clementine somewhat regretful about the past seven years, though he only says he regrets not being there for her. Clementine asks why he never tried to find her, and she is confused when he tells her she wouldn’t have believed him if he tried.
