Hank is piecing bits of the story together, little by little. And it’s all messed up, but... it could be worse. There could be no sense of familiarity. They could have been forced out into a literal hellscape — but they haven’t.
Yet.
“I wasn’t too kind to this Aurora when I first woke up, but — suppose that wasn’t her fault. Just unsettling, y’know. Waking up like that.”
He imagines she probably gets a lot of people coming here like that, swearing up a storm — and worse. Hank probably didn’t even make her top ten worst arrivals. Maybe she doesn’t even remember Hank with all the people who are in and out of the hospital.
Hopefully.
“Eight months, huh.” Hank whistles. “Quite a while. You learn anything interesting? Any weirdos I should steer clear of?”
Hank doesn’t really think he’ll really get an answer, but he’s gotta ask. He’s trying to keep all the details organized in his head — like it’s a case from back home, except this is his life for now. And it’s dangerous in a whole new way.
“Echo losin’ parts of themselves... sounds unstable.” Not that Hank can do anything about that. “Suppose we’re just here for the ride, then.”
