Oh yeah, my dad said that he's the reason the university pulled my funding and killed my research project. But he also might have been lying. I dunno.

Thank you! I think it was one of the better inventions I made for the mission. Is the one I gave you still working out or do I need to work on it more?

I am so sorry, Byron. Are you okay being here? Either way, that is horrible.

It is working very well. Thank you again. I am going to use it to try being drunk tomorrow.

I don't have anywhere else to be. And Broderick seems to be doing well. I thought maybe I could use the resources here to finish my PhD.

Oooh, fantastic! Let me know how it goes! I'm so happy it works!

It is good that there are silver linings. I can understand why Cadmus would want to hire you so badly, because you are amazing, but I cannot understand going to those lengths. Why would he not just make you a large, honest offer? Or at least attempt that first? He had you blaming yourself for "messing up" your opportunity at the university. And your father let you believe it?

I will. I do not think I will ever be able to thank you enough for this. People say emptyheaded as if it is a bad thing, but I have never felt so at peace.

I know. Both Cadmus and my father are assholes. I think they only think about what benefits them, not how it affects other people. [...] I probably would not have gotten bitten by a werewolf if both of them had just left me alone. My father and I are still not on speaking terms.

I'm glad! Perhaps I should make some version of it for myself, so I stop overthinking things.

It is one thing for a stranger to be that way, and another for you to have to deal with it from your father. It is good that you are taking distance. [...] How did they contribute to you getting bitten?

Perhaps. Although you may want to try something like the bus stop hat you created first. So you can let the thoughts pass through without other distractions until you are able to quiet yourself.

I hit rock bottom and went on a depressive, self-destructive bender. I'm not proud of it, but my research was my whole life.

That's a good idea. Perhaps I can make one of the mountains back home.

It is understandable that you would. It is all very unfair.

Are they very beautiful? You seem to find a lot of peace outdoors.

Thank you. Hopefully I can turn it around.

They are. They're very peaceful. Maybe we can portal there sometime.

I am sure you will be able to. I think you could probably do anything.

I would enjoy that very much.

I just want to do something meaningful, thank you.

Do you have good hiking boots? I would suggest good boots.

You have already accomplished something very meaningful for me. I am sure I am not the only one here who can say that already.

I have boots but they are probably not good enough. I will buy some. Is there a brand you like?

If I've done something for you, then my coming here was not a waste.

Oh, please don't spend money! I'll get you some from Action.

That is very sweet.

They would not be good to invest in? It is weird to get paid and to not have to pay for housing or food.

It's true.

They would be a good investment, but I feel like it would be good to see if you even like hiking first.

I am horrified about how they got you here, but I feel very lucky to have met you.

I used to walk in the mountains often during the years when I mainly wandered. But I always found that sneakers were good enough.

I feel lucky to have met you too!

Oh? Which mountains were those?

The Appalachians, mainly. It is not unusual for people to die there, so I would get pulled there not infrequently.

What were they like, when you weren't getting pulled around?

Beautiful. Quiet. It is easy to find peace when you are staring off at so much nature. It is helpful to remind yourself how small you are sometimes, because your problems are even smaller.

And it is so different depending on which state you are hiking in, since they span so many. Maybe we can visit one of those trails together after Wales.

I understand. That's why I love the mountains as well.

I would love that. Did you know the Appalachians and the mountains of Wales are actually part of the same range? From before the continental split. They're both very old.

I did not! That is very cool. It is funny how connected everything really is.

It is! I would really like to check them out, though. See how similar your mountains really are.

We will hike both. I am very excited.

Me too! The portals really are handy!
