[ There are other things Matt could say about deep space. Not a lot, and none of it from personal experience except what he's just admitted to. But he knows that mass is attracted to anything else with mass. Given enough time, two bodies in the void will drift towards each other, inexorably--as long as other objects don't draw them off.

Which is to say that he feels warmed by Amos' proximity, even if he's chilled and puzzled by the sudden blankness of his face. Not that Matt can blame him, he just--would feel reassured if he could touch someone right now. ]

That'd be a four-dimensional thing, [ Matt says, because he is gifted in answering rhetorical questions. He sighs. ] I don't know if we really are dead, obviously, I'm just ... speculating. But it'd almost be nice if we were. It'd take the pressure off my other hypothesis, which is that they're gonna sacrifice us to something.
