Jonathan Strange is lying through his fucking teeth. Some of the questions he can answer but others are straight up bullshit, details he can't remember mixed with details of how he thought it was mixed with details of how he wished it was. He's trying his hardest to sell it though, answering every question with utmost certainty and a hint of smugness in his tone.

"In the order the questions were asked: yes I do, it felt different in a more full sort of way, I'm afraid the supernatural was just as hidden as it is now—I'd even say it was more hidden back then." After all, the different realms still existed for the fae, angels, and demons to head back off to when they weren't on Earth. "My parents were proud I was a mage and I have no idea what the other aspects of the supernatural were like before the Severing."
