[The camera is steady, though it's filming at an odd angle, as though it's been propped up against something that's not really meant for the job. Which is fine, it does what it needs to, which is to show a young woman seated at what is - given the background - is probably a desk in one of the hotel rooms used to house offworlders.]

There's something I've been wondering about.

Has anyone run into someone you're sure is from your world, but who you don't have any personal connection to? Either directly or through someone else?

I...guess that makes sense. Coming from the same world doesn't mean you have to be friends. I think I'd be too curious to ignore a stranger from my world completely, though.

It sure doesn't. Being from the same world isn't a free pass to being nosy.

[ Well, in Emerald's case, that's her deal. Sort of. She's not convinced the people from her world won't try to shoot her, though. ]

Maybe not. But it is nice to be able to talk to someone without worrying that you're going to trip over what feels like it should be common knowledge.

Most of the people in my own world don't know what's going on anyway, so I guess I hadn't really thought about it that way.

You sound like you don't like them much. People, I mean.
