That's what I thought, too.

[ A small shrug. ]

From the Universe, according to them.

[midway]

... Aren't we all?

[punnier]

Technically, yeah. At least I'd say so but. The Universe isn't.. really something a lot of people think about back where I'm from. If at all.

[midway]

Like they don't know it exists?

[punnier]

[ A nod. ] They don't think there's anything outside our planet, what is there up in space with the stars... how vast the Universe really is.

[midway]

Well, I guess when you're preoccupied with daily life, you don't always have the time to think about these kinds of things.

[ huh ]

Do the two of you think that you might escape sometime soon?

[punnier]

Probably not. Even though the stars are right there to see at night.

[ Hmm. ]

..I don't really know. I feel like I'm getting close. I.. have to be.

[midway]

You have to be?

[punnier]

I have to be. I keep discovering more things, about Time Craft and.. about the King, that I have to be close enough to figuring it all out.

[ Something to tell themselves if to at least keep sane. ]

[midway]

You're making progress each time, so you must be close then. [ He nods, before... pausing a moment. ] But if you want to complain about how annoying it is in the mean time, then I'm happy to listen.

[punnier]

[ ..Haha. ]

Like a therapist? Don't worry, I'm used to it so it isn't really all that annoying. [ And they smile to reassure that thought. ] It'd be pretty boring anyway. It's just the same thing over and over.

[midway]

My thoughts are pretty circular already, so I challenge you to bore me, Siffrin.

[ Hehe. ]

[punnier]

The easiest way to do that is by not saying anything at all.

[ See? Easy. ]
