[ What was tethering? He bites on the inside of his bottom lip, trying to remember. ]
I think tethering... well, the way it's supposed to be, there's the you where you are, then there's...a midway point? Then there's us in the void. So normally, there's three points? But that doesn't make sense if we're dead, right? I mean - there's a place on my world, but then, what about the people who have bodies? Or...why don't they show up as spirits when other spirits show up here, right?
[ So why wouldn't a guy like Yondu be a spirit if he showed up dead, when other ghosts show up that way? ]
I know we're not on the train when our names turn gold. [ He bends a finger with that point. ] So I guess that's, like... the train losing connection with us. And when we leave on the platforms... [ Here, his brow knits for a moment. ] You know, I've always wondered if that's really us, or just... a trick. It doesn't make sense, right? We disappear from the train, but then we come back on a platform?
