How does one respond to this? Strange mulls it over for a little bit, giving 9S a tiny frown.
"It does," Strange simply responds. Because really, what else could he say? He can't deny that. "And yet we muddle through it anyway."
There's a pause, before Strange attempts to shift the subject slightly. "9S. What happened to you at the ball?"
Because something must have happened. The way he was so bitter about the illusions, this stand-offish attitude he has now, the way Strange had to explain that though people loved each other, it was sometimes better if they were apart...something had to have happened. And Strange wanted to know what.
