Possible, definitely, but it seemed unlikely, especially when she knew that all of the people she was aware were there so far were... highly unusual, one way or another. "But why do it at all?" So rarely were people really as altruistic as they seemed. "Even if they only wanted to help us, why make us stay? And if the other worlds aren't safe, then why is this one?" If they saved her, why couldn't they save everyone?

"...." Okay? No. It wasn't okay. It would never be okay. All of that time... so much of it, ripped away from him just like that. She took a deep breath, trying to steel herself for this. Even if he said he wouldn't be upset at her... it was hard to imagine that he wouldn't be. He was a good person, possibly one of the best she'd ever known (of?), but this was the kind of thing that she could believe might be enough of a shock to cause even the most even-tempered person to shoot the messenger, so to speak. It didn't help that she already had a built-in tendency to assume that she was going to make people angry with her. She kept her back to him, knowing she wouldn't want to see his expression. "...Ven," No turning back now. "...you've been asleep... for more than ten years."
