From anybody else in the whole friggin' universe, those'd be fighting words. But he can't fault the guy who looks like him for talking about how good-looking they are.

"Shin-Ra's the company I work for." That's simple. "And I've been to the islands in our ocean, but this is... like a whole different planet, right? We're not on Gaia."

He ain't stupid, but the whole other realities thing isn't exactly what he'd call normal either, although every friggin' time he opens a door and it leads to Milliways, it gets more and more normal. It's just that he hasn't told a soul back home about it yet because... why bother? Word'll get out sooner or later, especially with Lockhart and Valentine at the place, but they're kinda... stuck, as far as he can figure it, and he ain't.

And that's lucky.
