I think you're confusing "lost" with "hiding."

[You know that really fast, eerily level tone Vincent uses when he's explaining something? Yeah, here you go. Hope you can understand him.]

Being lost denotes a lack of knowledge regarding one's location. You can go wherever you want in the hopes of being found, but there's no one place you can go for someone to find you. It's up to luck.

Hiding is significantly easier, on a technical front, to be found from; when hiding, there are generally people looking for you, and all you have to do is step out where they can see you, do something to make yourself known, and so on. Whether the reason for your hiding is easy enough to overcome is the major issue in being found from that situation, but it's generally easier than being lost.

[Generally. Vincent himself thinks he'd rather be lost.]

They converge periodically, where you hide so well that you become lost, but generally tracing your steps--or backtracking through the situation, in metaphor--to the place things stopped being familiar works in that case.

[Simba gets the general idea of what Vincent's trying to say. It doesn't make him feel any better.]

Thanks.

I've found there's very little as painful as coming out of hiding, but there are times when there's just no other option.

[He would know.]

Good luck.
