[See now that's just asking for the impossible.]

As long as nobody starts to believe they're the only way we can make things change. Even if it isn't a trick, Poland made it sound like they won't be in contact with us frequently, anyway.

Yeah, that's what it seemed like. It had to do with... a fixed amount of "energy" they could afford to expend, or something. That kind of stuff is way outside my experience, and... I think it raised more questions than it answered.

[He shivers again, looking to a point somewhere past Gilbert. Is... is there a ghost there?? Hello from this side.]

...But you're right. We need to rely on ourselves first.

[DON'T DO THAT HINATA it's like when your cat or dog suddenly looks at nothing and then runs away!! He glances over his shoulder too, brow furrowing a little...

But then back to Hinata, with a nod.]

It'll be nice to have an extra hand, but if it's about fixed energy, then Poland is probably right. It'll be a while before we hear from them again. There's no telling if time works the same way for them as it does for us, either...

[LISTEN there could be someone there!! He doesn't see any floating candy but Who Knows For Sure.]

If time works the same...? [he repeats, blinking with a sudden realization. He'd never even considered that, but...] Do you mean like... how time felt longer during that motive, or something else?

[stupidly]

[THE FEAR IS REAL, BEING HAUNTED IS AWFUL.

But he nods in response!]

Things that exist in other dimensions don't usually follow conventional time-keeping... From what I know, anyway.
