"I don't know." He's no scientist and certainly no doctor; there could be any number of reasons. "Maybe you just woke up with it. Maybe it's a recurrence of what happened last time. Maybe it's congenital. Maybe it's some sort of illness or infection. For all I know, it could be something you ate or drank, some drug you took. You might have hit your head on something and don't remember it. They're all good theories, but... they're just speculation."
That, he reminds himself, is what theories are: science's first stab at anything at all. People aren't usually content with the unknown; they like to have their questions answered.
"Do you want me to help you find a doctor?" There have to be some here; one shouldn't be that hard to find. "Or... tell you more stories, things I know about you? Or even just sit here together?"
For this, he'd even play a game of poker.
"Play cards? Listen to more music?" Find out if I'm actually dead? "Try to find that partner of yours?"
Then again, she might not want to do anything. She might just want to be alone.
