[He's frowning intently when the video feed starts, but he doesn't hesitate to speak. This has been eating at him for a few days now -- and he can't figure it out himself; so finally he thought he might as well ask...

Maybe someone knows.]

How can you tell what's real?

[That's it; he gives a quick nod and cuts the feed.]

This time, this place makes more sense than the dreams. So I think this is real.

But that's the only way I can tell. So if it makes more sense the next time, then I might not know.

Then you'll just have to decide again next time. The trick to defeating illusions is to decide on your own reality, and hold on to it.

But if this isn't real, and I just think it is because I haven't seen the truth yet....

Then I could be wasting time.

I'll be surprised if any of them can help you. Everyone is so easily confused.

A lot of people have helped!

[His smile slips a little, though, as he considers it.] But a lot of people do seem like they're not sure... Do you think it's just because it's a scary thought?

I think that some of them want to believe it, and some of them are simply easily confused.

[And, maybe, some of them believe it because they're afraid of it. But he's not going to say that out loud, because he's not sure it makes sense.]

Maybe.
