She hears him out the whole way through. "You mean before I was...that wasn't...."

"NAH, that can't be." It just didn't make sense. There was no way her whole home and all that wasn't real. That's just nonsense. There had to be a better explanation. Better than machines and wars and virtual reality. "There had to be something inbetween, surely. You can't tell me where I came from wasn't real." Seemed plenty real to her. There's no way a virtual reality thing could be as real as that.
