Outside, there's a nice white-gravel driveway leading out into a pleasant forest.  The building he just exited might be some sort of mansion.

And there's just - another planet, with rings and two moons, right there.  Absolutely huge in the sky.

"Nice display."

"Isn't it?  Our art team does good work."

(Is this... even if that's a giant screen that doesn't explain how he got here.  So it's probably a dungeon????(???))

Nod.

"Let's go this way."  He walks.

Yeah.  Sure.  Okay.

The environment is nice and kind of generically garden-y, except for the sky.  There are some statues and fountains about, and - here's one, that Journey leads him to.  A big mirror, set in stone, flowers growing densely around the edge.

Okay, what's it going to be, the guy doesn't have a reflection?  Or Julien doesn't?

No, they both do.

But -

His eyes, far from their usual deep deep almost-black brown, are pale and watery and blue or gray or something.

Journey waits for him to form a question.

...No, he's not going to do that.  (Is he an -) (Does it even make any more sense for them to have put contacts -) (But he doesn't remember -)

He looks expectantly at Journey.

"So, you awoke as an esper."

"...Okay....."

"Delusion, breaking from reality.  Self-centered paranoia.  Thinking everything's out to get you."

"That and not - forgetting the last howevermany years of societal progress?"

"No.

"Julien, you died.  It killed you."

What.

What.  But he doesn't - remember -

oh

he remembers.
