What can he do, tell her she's trapped here because she can't see the door? Shaking his head, he shrugs mildly. "No. It's not supposed to mean anything; don't worry about it."
It's only a little lie. "And as far as how long we've been friends... that's a little bit complicated." He really hates to do this to her, but...
"Faye, this is going to sound completely crazy, but I promised I wouldn't take advantage of anything. I have to tell you where we are, and you're going to think I'm lying but I'm not." Where's the right place to begin?
At the beginning, of course.
"We met... oh, probably about two years ago in a little bar on Callisto called the Rester House. It's where I play. We met there, and then... well, then we didn't see each other for a few months: five or six. But we met up again here. About a year and a half ago. And here is..."
The end of the universe sounds so dire: isn't the universe infinite? How can it have a beginning and an end?
"...here is an asteroid. A very small asteroid, very very far from home. In fact, we can't get back home."
Oh yeah, and I'm 99% sure I'm dead.
"Does any of this sound familiar?" He's beginning to suspect amnesia of some unknown cause: it's time to guide her through this very, very carefully. Hopefully, that's the right choice and honestly, it's the only choice he's got.
