The last thing I remember was getting ready to run for it, with ...this guy, that my sister knows. Knew. I mean.
[Deep breath. Small sigh. Start over.]
Okay.
My sister was dead all summer. There was ...this spell that could have maybe brought her back, but I never knew if it worked, or if they even tried it for real, because, hey ...all of a sudden I'm here. In Anatole. When not minutes before I was with Spike, my sister's friend.
But then he's gone, and I'm in a room with a forge and I just...yeah. I don't even know.
I'm only here a week, maybe a little more and all of a sudden ...there's a kitten. From my world. It's my sister's friend's kitten, but it's THE VERY KITTEN. Knows me, knows her name, same markings. Everything.
Days later? Spike: Totally here, too. Only ...from what he tells me, the spell did work. Which means my sister's alive. But nobody notices I'm ...gone? A-and Spike said some weird stuff to me ...about me. It wasn't so weird at the time, but I keep thinking about it now.
Obviously, there was a me there. Moments before, maybe? Painting fruit. That's what he said. He thought I was in Rome painting fruit. Or maybe it was sketching fruit. But I've never been to Rome.
I guess I thought maybe time just ...stopped? Now I have no idea. My sister's alive. I can't see her, or really know ...because I can't get back. But I know Spike's telling the truth. And I guess there's another me out there? Back there, I mean.
It's really confusing. But ...I feel okay about it for some reason, you know? I didn't think I'd feel this ...okay with everything.
Wow. [Embarrassed laugh.] You awake after all that?

I don't see how I could have fallen asleep. [you know he is getting used to this place because he can be wry as well as shocked or confused.]

I dunno. I can sure ramble.
[Pause.]
Do you have a theory?
