Jade!

[Obviously this is Jade's fault. ...Maybe not fault; this is nicer than his cell, if not utterly confusing.]

I know you're here! Come out from... ...space!

[This is really confusing. The identical floor and surrounding environment is disorienting, but there are buildings, and... a chair? It's attractive, but not so much that he doesn't kick it over in his confusion before moving on to the buildings. This can't be natural... though, considering the way inside was through a mysterious door in his cell wall, what chance was there of it being otherwise?

Maybe alerting Jade is a bad idea. He can't lock him back up if he doesn't know where he is. So, exploring. Quietly.

As quietly as a Dist can manage.]

[He was trying to resist lying to Dist, but it's just so much fun.

Anyway, Dist doesn't trust him whatever he does. It can't really hurt.]

Didn't you realize? I'm one of them.

[Dist gives Jade a flat look.]

How stupid do you think I am?

[clinical]

I'm so happy you're finally acknowledging it. But the doctors advised me not to push you too hard by giving an exact figure. They say admitting the delusion is the most difficult step.

[Dist riles up at that immediately, but he does know better than to argue with the taunt itself. It never ends well.]

So that's really the story that you're telling me?! That we're all subjects in some grand cosmic experiment - that you had nothing to do with - that can somehow bring in people from different times? You're committing to this. Really.

[clinical]

I'm always committed to the truth.

Then prove it.

The truth will prove itself. My major concern is what kind of embarrassing idiocy you'll bring on us.

[And there's the hard part: trust Dist enough to inform him about the situation or risk him causing catastrophe in his ignorance.]
