[He shakes his head.] I don't know if there's such a force that can exist that tricks everybody into thinking they're seeing things that they aren't. Wouldn't that be something like magic? Since when do you believe in magic?

[He leans back on his hands.] A lot of people around us aren't seeing what we're seeing when this weird shit's going on. But we are. The key here is figuring out what's so special about us.
