Ever since some of the people had gone missing and returned with memories of the future, Adam's made every effort not to get involved, despite some of this mess coming to him in the form of Tom. His place isn't to worry about what's happened to the time traveling ten, or make Wonderland's psychotic breakdowns his responsibility. He shouldn't have to deal with this on top of everything else. Telling himself as much takes the pressure off of feeling so many things at once--worry, dread, curiosity, confusion.
When Blake contacts him and tells him there's something he needs to see, curiosity takes the lead against his will. What does any of this have to do with him?
He throws a winter jacket on and stalks outside as directed, indignant, annoyed that this place thinks it can take the place of Hell and throw his fears and uncertainties back in his face. He's not a part of the future. He's not a part of anyone's future.
Stomping through the trees deep in the forest like this is how he meets his own future self, in a manner of speaking.
He doesn't mean to let himself be caught off guard (what guard does he have, really?), but suddenly there he is, watching his own ghostly images on repeat right where Blake had told him to look. Adam loses track of how many times he watches himself--both of himselves. Long after his feet go numb in his boots, he's still watching. If this is a future, he's undecided whether it's a good or a bad one.
Good, because he can see for himself how strong and collected a version of him can be. Bad, because of muffled screams he causes.
12/19!
