[Her question makes him hesitate. He wishes he could give her a swift answer, an automatic yes, but it's... harder than he'd like for it to be. Harder still to imagine such a scenario, that their worlds would be okay. They'd have no way of verifying it. And for how long? In perpetuity? A few years, a lifetime? Would his crystal allow it? Would his conscience?

He shouldn't overthink a theoretical. But in light of his recent conversation with Somnus, it feels wrong to not think about it.]

If... if our worlds would be safe? Yeah, absolutely. For a while, at least, I'd love that. I'd love it. As long as I could get away with it. [It's still a guilty answer, but the idea of saying no outright wounds his heart too much.] How long that would be... I don't know. Eventually I'd lose my ability to sleep well at night, knowing I was leaving everybody hanging like that.
