[ Her story earns a furrowed brow as he finishes off the last of his ration. He doesn't think that's what happened to Earth, but truth is, he has no clue what caused at least one asteroid to crash into the planet. Probably more, considering what he went through after.

Got no reason to believe it wasn't. Before that... that thing with the paths, it already felt like the world was ending. I dunno how, but it was. I'm just putting two and two together here.

[ Something about the way she asked him that, though. There's no optimism in his tone that maybe his universe is still around; he's pretty sure it's dead. Maybe hers is still around, though. That'd be nice for her. ]

I know what I saw. What I felt. Did you get something different?
