He sits right next to him, folding his legs up and looking eager like it's time for Dr. Seuss in fucking kindergarten or some shit. All these names, the places, they all sound like magical, far-off lands. He doesn't remember much before the City. Hell, he doesn't remember much before getting off the meds. It all seems so damn exotic.
"Lemme hear more about Japan. Always wanted..." To see it. To go there. No idea if it's even still standing, they don't tell them anything. The idea of an entire country being gone... the whole world... who the fuck knows what's past all that radiation and desolation? No one's been that far. Too dangerous. "You n' Galen? You got to see it all?" Together.
He's trying so hard to stay positive, but there are whispers. Whispers in a voice that was his but wasn't at the same time. Not fair. Why should they-- no, shut the fuck up. He shakes it off. That's bullshit. That's NOT him. Not what he thinks.
"Be nice to see a city all lit up with colour and music. Miss that. A lot. I dunno if I could handle it now, though. Tall towers everywhere, might get me feelin' too cramped. Flat desert, you can see everythin' miles before it's comin' to getcha. Outrun it. Shoot it. Lots of corners in a city." He remembers that much. Places to hide but also places to be trapped.
