His response to that is a rakish wink because she hit the nail on the head and he smiles. He could tell her that things get much, much worse than that. But why do that when she's new and they're at a party? Unfortunately she is going to learn that lesson the way they all do. Jesper can't protect himself let alone other people from what is coming their way. But he can keep someone from worrying about things that haven't happened yet.
"You'll do alright. Just remember that we're all strangers, but we're all strangers going through the same thing. Sometimes it's best to band together."

"I did them over one night, I've been here a little over a year so I only got to go to the one Halloween party. The oldest people will be at two years in a few months. Julie's one of them."

But party girl who has been here the longest and knows some shit? Important for newbies to know.
"You can make anything happen in the Horizon if you focus long enough."
