I mean, didn't people show up on Crystallis who knew each other, but from like, different timelines 'n such? Time's weird. Dimensions are weird. It's like there ain't any rules, so I don't know if we will ever be able to put a finger on whatever this actually is.

But I guess we can always blame all of this on that. Alternate timeline. Okay. So now what?

[What, if anything? Hew had no idea. It was mostly a rhetorical question.]
