A patient here mentioned to me something about none of this being real. Does anyone have information on that, or know what that might mean?

I don't believe this is an illusion, if that's what you mean. Though, it has been known to happen.

Maybe not an illusion. More like... it isn't actually happening. It's hard to explain.

Like a dream, or a figment of the imagination? I'm afraid I don't know exactly what you mean.

That we might not even be real, I guess. Or... do you know what virtual reality is?

I'm afraid I don't know what that is. But do you mean that we might all be part of someone's imagination? Like characters in a story?

Yeah, maybe. I'm not sure.

Sounds like wishful thinking to me.

The person who told me about it isn't the sort to fall back on wishful thinking. I'm pretty sure he was being perfectly serious.

Suit yourself. But the injuries received here are real enough for me. Too real.

I know what you mean. It all feels real. I'm just not sure if it is. I've always had a hard time distinguishing.

I'd hate to think none of us are real. But given how crazy this place is, I suppose anything is possible, isn't it?

What would you do if this really was just some big virtual reality, though? Would it really change anything?

Not that I'm 100 percent sure one way or the other, of course. I'm just asking because I'm genuinely curious.

I guess it doesn't change anything, but... it might be a clue to ending this somehow.

Hmm, I suppose you're right about that, at least. Although...I personally think this is all very real. I've noticed quite a few inconsistencies about this place, but I wouldn't go attributing it to some virtual reality just yet.

In the meantime, we're all in the same boat, so I doubt anyone has any solid information about what exactly this place is. I guess if we just keep digging for answers, the truth will come.

I just don't know where to dig.

This is real.

We're real.

He was real too, but he wanted to believe he wasn't.

~~That's why he asked me to~~

Why?
