[Peter couldn't really believe that he was actually turning on a device with mouse ears and intending to use it. Really, he had his dignity. Well. some dignity. A tiny shred of it.

He also couldn't believe that this thing hand been handed to him by...some other thing. A floating thing that kind of resembled a pig, sort of.

Warily, he eyed the communicator - and anyone who would be watching this broadcast.]

Someone please tell me that I'm hallucinating. Or at least what the hell is going on. But mostly, I'd really, really like to hear the words "None of this is real, you can stop worrying now", please.

Neither does saying "this is real" mean that it is.

[wavesinherheart]

I know. It's just... there's only so many ways to say it, and I can't make you stop doubting it.

[morescaredofyou]

Doubting it is better than believing it. Believing means it could be true.

[And Peter so doesn't want it to be true]

[wavesinherheart]

Is it so bad if it's true?

[morescaredofyou]

Yes! Because then everything and everyone is gone!

[wavesinherheart]

Worlds do come back, sometimes.

[morescaredofyou]

How?!

[wavesinherheart]

I'm afraid I don't know. I just know that sometimes they do.

[morescaredofyou]

None of this makes any sense.

[wavesinherheart]

It makes enough sense.

[morescaredofyou]

No sense is not enough sense.

[wavesinherheart]

I'm sure it sounds strange, but it really is how things work here.

[morescaredofyou]

You can't just have things work because they just do! There's always a reason, even if we don't know it yet. Haven't you ever studied any science?

[wavesinherheart]

I'm not saying you can. I'm sure there's an explanation, really I am. I just don't what it is.

[morescaredofyou]

Well now you're making some sense.
