prepares the mugs, filling them with heated water from the fancy coffee
machine.] The distances between places were always changing, and my
powers were acting weird. It felt like the whole ship was trying to turn

had made things much, much worse; she'd been aware of less and less as the
days went on, more and more frightened of the way reality seemed to bend
and break around the barge.] I think the coma was kind of a
blessing in disguise; I probably would've lost my mind trying to figure it
all out and make it stop.
[She brings the mugs over to the other side of the island and sits
on the stool beside him. He's already told her some of what happened, and
she can guess how he feels about it.] How did you deal with
everything? Better than trying to encase yourself in a block of ice, I
hope?
