This is a customarily odd question to ask a stranger. Instead of raising an eyebrow, however, the woman just sits back and considers it. "It's possible," she says. "It's something people have brought up before. But not everyone remembers getting hurt. As far as we can tell, there's no reason not to believe the tutorial," she says with a sympathetic half-smile. "We really might be on a spaceship. I don't know what to think either."

She pauses when she sees something in Brier's expression. "Spaceship?" she repeats. "Do you know what that is, honey?"
