[ he looks faintly surprised...and then he just lets out a small, amused sort of sigh. it's not really amused, more like "of course." ]
That's part of it, yeah. It was kind of a huge nightmare, and maybe I should have said no but I wouldn't have felt right if I did. [ and now here he is, dealing with that. ] ...it's dumb to be bothered about things when we have a lot of other things going on, and when we just achieved a huge win last week over the weekend. Especially when those things are my own fault.
[ which is more honest than he usually is with these things, but it's amalthea so he minds a lot less. he's eating his noodles and he's considering what she says, puzzling it out like he can put a name to it. ]
...there's this famous thought experiment back in our world called Schrodinger's Cat. It's basically the idea that something can be in two states at once until it's observed. It's called Schrodinger's Cat because it centers around the idea of imagine that a cat's inside a box with something that can kill it. But, you don't know what its state is because the box is closed. Until you really look at it, the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. I think maybe you're kinda like Schrodinger's Maid. In the physical sense, you are very much not alive. But at the same time, you are, because the answer behind what happened to you is still a mystery that hasn't really been looked into. [ ... ] Also you're definitely not a ghost. It's like you got trapped in a paradox.
