"I need to start at the beginning...right before you apparently showed up." He starts, going on to explain as much as he can. How Celia had brought him there to sacrifice him or something. How she had lied to them all that time. He talked about the Archivist and how it had followed him, how it killed people. He tells her about Georgie and Melanie and how they were suspicious of him but ultimately seemed pretty cool.
"And then we were trying to figure out what happened to the me of that place and...well the only person I could think about looking for who might know was you. With how you greeted me just now....I think it's safe to say you aren't very different between the two." Well, other than the Alice there being a wreck with grief.
