He hadn't considered it an argument either, and he won't argue with Gregor wanting to put an end to it, so he just shrugs at those last couple sentences and lets it be. Files it all away under things to make sense of later, once he's had time to learn more about Gregor and his experiences, because none of that made enough sense to sort out right now. Patience, as always, is just as valuable a learning tool as anything else.

And anyway, there's no time for much else since Gregor continues on with the questions, but that's fine with him. It's a good night to just hang out and talk to whoever wants to come by, it's what he's here for.

"No, not solved completely. Some people who know about these things have said this is just another world, like the other ones up there," he says, nodding to the few stars visible through the thin layer of clouds drifting in off the lake. "If you had a spaceship you could take off from here and fly home, it just might take you a long time. I'm not sure they're right, though. Others have talked about parallel worlds. Like maybe this whole universe is just one mirror of another, and the portal is the way between them. Or dying is. I like that better because it seems like it might explain some of the differences between this place and life as I know it, but liking it doesn't mean it's true."
