Kennedy walks very briskly to the bathrooms.

Smol Haru looks very suspiciously at Julien, but fights off the temptation to say anything and keeps scrolling through his counterpart's FAQ.

"It occurred to me that maybe I shouldn't do what you say," Kennedy emerges saying a few minutes later.

"Oh, no.  ...Sure, yeah, do what you want.  Uh, what was your name, again?"

"Kennedy, sir.  And you're Julien Doucet?

"That's me, yeah."

"I think I have a right to know what you apologized to me for, Mr. Doucet.  ...Unless it feels like a sacrifice to tell me, in which case no I don't."

".....How do I tell?"

"Ummm.  I am not a summer solstice, Mr. Doucet."

"Huh."

"She... believes in astrology and I guess given that there are apparently more things than something something my philosophy maybe that is because she is from a universe where it is true."

"Ooookay.  Do you guys want to - ask the bar for confirmation of where Kennedy is from, while I think on this?"

"I think Kennedy should do that but I am reading." Julien might take his phone back at any moment and it's a long FAQ.

Kennedy climbs a bar stool.

Welcome to Milliways. Would you like something to drink? It's free for the first one.

"Ummm.  Can you hear me?" she asks, quietly.

Yes, I can hear fine, I just can't speak.

"I see.  Umm, I will hold off on that for now, thank you.  Mr. Doucet said you might know things about where I come from?"

I can identify your world of origin, though worlds typically don't have uniquely identifying names, so mostly that means I can tell you if you are from the same or a different world from anyone else I am looking at, and lend you books and such things that are from your world and not others.

"That's wonderful.  Am I from the same world as Haru?"

No, you are not.

"Thank you.  May I borrow, ummm, K. Erinson's Human Study Guide, please?"

I don't have it, because I'm not an autumn equinox.

"...Oh.  Is there a different human study guide I could borrow?"
