"If I find out I'm really rescued I'll be glad of how I spent this time. Except for not saving you, of course. And if I find out this is a hallucination, that'd mean you're home and safe."
"...after the war, if we can get the Valar to open the portal. Do you want. To start over. If we could find some way to verify that's what'd happen."
"What I wanted to do was orchestrate something that'd make you think. I don't think you'd actually be okay with that."
"I know you said it hurts to stop again, but even if we just had you thinking a little while we could ask you about your preferences on things like killing you to start over."

"My father did. After the war he's going to figure out a way to restore all my memories and if that happens I'm going to believe it at least likelier than not that this is real. I can verify that several decades have passed. I can do things like 'likelier than not'. You can't."
"Yup. And then we'll hope that after a century you're so unbearably bored of not thinking you decide to chance it long to enough to verify it's in fact been a century, and that the Enemy couldn't have pulled off a convincing hallucination for that long without erasing any memories."
"Not your fault. It might even have been the right strategy, now that we've got other people who can program."
