"...science doesn't work."

"Well, if you try it the rules change and you die. There was a me there and he died. Three times, the last one for good. Until we rescued him. ...I'm really not the best person to explain this."

"Maybe it would be best if you got the... person you made..."

"He doesn't speak any Portuguese yet, do you speak English?"

"Yes."

He disappears. 

He reappears with Maitimo.

Who sighs. "- hi."

"...hello. I'm doctor Ximenes."

"Maitimo. Pleasure to meet you."

"I wasn't planning on telling everyone everything it just kept making sense to do."

Hug.

"So I'm not the only human who knows it. That's... reassuring, somewhat."

"You, half a dozen North American capes, the Brazilian resistance, for all I know half the population of Indonesia -"

"Have not."

"Not being good at secrets makes you very trustworthy."

"Okay but it is factually untrue that half the population of Indonesia knows about the peal, I haven't even talked to any Indonesians."

"Sorry, I won't tease you." He looks at Dr. Ximenes. "It's a handful, though."

"And, ah, is there a reason why you're not coming forward publicly about it?"

"Yes."

"...is it a secret reason?"

" - yes?"

"We have reason to think it'd cause a stir among some powerful capes who currently aren't causing one, to oversimplify."

"...I see. Should I just—assume this is being competently handled? I'm just a therapist. I'm a good therapist, but..."

"It's being handled with lots of resources by very dedicated and competent people, and there'll be more of them available soon."

She nods. "I'm glad, then."
