[It made a surprising amount of sense. Much more sense than anything that came before it. Unfortunately, that leads Ari to question the truth of it. Sometimes you have to tell people what they need to hear to keep them calm, right? She can't fault anyone for that. Maybe it's that - or maybe it's actually plain fact, in which case she's still going to be talking temporal mechanics with a man who is legitimately carrying swords, and that's still exceptionally strange.]

It does. Conceptually, at least. You're saying it exists in some sort of temporal bubble? [She's concerned, but she's also intrigued by that.] I have to ask why you think I'd be giving up on anyone here. I'm here against my will. I have no duty to and no contract with any of these people. Why would any of it be my responsibility?
