[Maes has had more time to come to terms with his 'death' than most people here. After all, the 'death' that got him here was just a matter of losing his connection to Astoria and being restored to his previous state (or at least that's what he figures). His time among the Circle had been the time he had to go through the stages of grief (for himself).
A year ago? He'd barely been able to say the words. It was easier now, he'd shared that knowledge with a few Circle members and being here was even different because EVERYONE was a member of "Dead Man Walking" club.
The trust also comes from having future knowledge about how the discovery he made plays out. There's no secrets to keep on that front any more at least.]
Stumbled into a big risk. At the time I thought I was helping them with something completely different or at least didn't realize that what I was stumbling into was quite as earth shattering as all that. That part comes from hind sight and talking to my friend Roy when we were both members of the Circle.
[Remember that conversation they had about meeting someone from his future? Yeah, Roy was one of them. Hopefully this also might explain the state of things with his wife and daughter. At the time, he hadn't REALIZED that he was on the verge of discovering something that would get him killed.
Still, it is a sore spot for him and a number of his nightmares and hallucinations have involved Gracia attacking him for the choices he made. He can't say he'd blame her if that were the case.]
Hmm...that might be complicated to explain. Do they have something called alchemy in your world?
