No, no, you're fine. I mean, it's a valid question, y'know?
[Peter wants to get to the bottom of this thing too, and now that he's had a chance to calm down and focus, things are starting to... make even less sense. But in a way that's starting to make more sense? It's complicated.]
I knew 'em. All of them. Which is actually super weird for a couple reasons. One, I wasn't even on Earth when it happened, so I literally have no idea who all actually died aside from the people I was with. If I don't know, there's no way that anyone or anything else here would know. Two, some of the people I just saw aren't even from my universe. I met them in Hadriel, the last place I was stuck? So it isn't even possible for them to have gone through that.
[A moment ago he'd been kind of hunched over, hugging himself and looking way more like a scared kid than a superhero. Now that he's laying out all this bullshit in an attempt to make sense of it, he's starting to straighten up a little, resting his elbows on his knees and rubbing at his chin absently. He's not positive if he's on the right track or not, but trying to figure it out beats sitting here feeling bad for himself by a long shot.]
Whatever that was, it was designed specifically to screw with me. Like, not gonna lie, I've had nightmares of that like exact thing, and I think that cloudy junk is doing it. Whatever it is, it's like... I dunno, getting into our heads? Reading our minds? I don't know. I don't know, but I think I can find out. I just need to get a sample.
[Which he maybe shouldn't be trying to do right now, but he sure is hopping up like he's planning on marching right back out there and... wrangling a cloud somehow. Peter stop.]
