Neil:
Well, I've seen too much. I'm still alive, which must mean you've decided to trust me.

The Protagonist:

Neil:

Neil:

Neil:

The Protagonist:
Sure, that's exactly what I meant.

Neil:
I have a master's in physics.

The Protagonist:

The Protagonist:

Not as surprised as I was.

The Protagonist:

Neil:

The Protagonist:
I'd rather it be my decision.

Neil:
So would I... I think.

The Protagonist:
