It just means you're in a different situation now. With different rules.

[ he really has no idea what she's talking about, but he's trying to relate ]

[killies]

[ i respect him ]

I—guess so. That makes as much sense as anything else.

[turbulency]

[ gives her a sympathetic little smile ]

Yeah, it's hard to make much sense out of anything. [ so tired ] You learn anything helpful?

[killies]

[ hah ]

We've got a couple of this place's rules figured out, like what the fog does and that the posters come back. But those are just the basics and other than that, not really.

[turbulency]

[ he nods ]

Have you dealt with magic much before?

[killies]

No. There's no magic in my dimension.

[turbulency]

So it must be pretty confusing.

[killies]

A little. I just have to figure out the rules, though. That's all.

[ ... ]

Is there magic in your world?

[turbulency]

[ good thing we get a rule book tomorrow! ]

Something like it. It doesn't really help me understand what's causing all this though.

Have you looked at the Bible in the Church?

[killies]

[ 🙏 bless 🙏 ]

That's what I've been hearing from other people...

I looked, but I can't read it. Can you?

[turbulency]

No, but I only looked at it briefly.

Did it give you any visions?

[killies]

... No?

[turbulency]

Oh.

[ huh ]

I heard it gave people visions, but I guess not to everyone.

[killies]

I haven't spent much time looking at it, so maybe that's it.

[turbulency]

[ he shrugs ]

Neither have I. It seemed pretty cursed.

[killies]

I just thought it was a waste of time. If I can't read it there's no point in looking at it.

[turbulency]

Yeah, magic doesn't always work in ways that make sense. I'm assuming occult stuff is the same.

[killies]

It's just about figuring out what logic it follows.

Magic and occult stuff is all the same to me.

[turbulency]

You're really particular about rules and logic.

[killies]

Isn't that the obvious place to start figuring things out from?

[turbulency]

... I guess. I mean, I'd hope so. Maybe it's just where I'm from, that everything feels chaotic.

[ he's from a shounen and its full of nonsense ]

[killies]

Things are chaotic where I'm from, too. There's still a lot we don't understand. But that's why it's important to try and find out.

[turbulency]

I don't think you're wrong.

I just meant that we might have to pursue something that doesn't seem logical at first, because it might make sense later.

[killies]

That's true. I'll keep it in mind.

... What sort of stuff is going on where you're from?

[turbulency]

[ he's silent for a moment, trying to figure out how he wants to even start explaining ]

People just... Have all different kinds of abilities. Sometimes they make sense, and sometimes they don't make any sense. But they're life threatening either way.
