I'll be fine.

( Matt hasn't clarified why he's being Weird, but does he have to? just let him have his baby panic attack over seeing things, he's earned it.

and he's masterfully suppressing it, anyway. while there's a big chance this could just be some new and unique method of torturing residents, there's also a chance they could learn something here. and he's not about to waste the opportunity freaking out about his eyeballs working. he's too practical for that. Matt has never met an emotional reaction he can't powerfully suppress to worry about later. he's fine. )

Beacon used to have a mining operation, way before things went dark. It makes sense all that had to leave somehow. ( he's never seen the dock where the ferry arrives, technically, though he's sensed enough to know it's not as grand as this. that, and the light, makes him think this might be some sort of bizarre flashback to the way things used to be. ) We should get closer. See if we can figure out anything. Does that ferry resemble the one we arrived in?

( Matt can't tell just looking at it. he'd have to go over there and use his other senses to know for sure. )
