"How so?"

"Okay so... Um. The way my power works is. Um. Belief."

"I don't follow."

"Okay so like. I have to believe that a thing exists, and if I do it hard enough then it does."

"Hmm, so you couldn't create something you know does not exist?"

"Oh I could. I think. The problem is other people."

"So, it depends on the observer as well?"

"Yeah."

"Is there any way you could demonstrate this?"

"You could try to not believe this is real," he says, pointing at the device.

"Hmm, do you know how it works?"

"Not really."

"But you don't think it works purely because you made it?"

"I dunno what you mean. It works because it's a thing that works like that."

"Can you tell me what makes it work?"

"Whatever's inside it. I think not even tinkers understand what they're doing very well when they do it."

"So this is technology made by someone else?"

"It's like something someone else made. I dunno if this specific one was."

"Have you ever seen this machine in person, or studied a diagram?"

"No."

"Are you also a tinker?"

"No, I can't build these things."

"Yet you can make one, just because you know it's theoretically possible?"

"Yeah."

The machine disappears. "Well, you broke my suspension of disbelief."
