[ He makes the same noise he always does, one that Julie has come to understand as him not actually saying what's on his mind. Which is fine, because she gets it. Not holding her tongue (she's never done that once in her life), but what it means now -- that he acknowledges the reality of what she's saying, but can't absorb it, for whatever reason.

She squeezes his hand. There are always going to be things they don't know, shit they can't see coming at them. People get hurt. That's life. It's not on any one person to save everyone else from incomprehensible events. None of them knew they'd be brought here. None of them knew that they could dream new parts of their old lives. None of them know what any of this all means, not really.
The tiny t-rex manages to chomp the dragon's tail, like puppies gnawing at each other, and the dragon rumbles before taking flight to sit on the railing, lording over the t-rex. One thing Julie is sure of is that dragons are way smarter than any dinosaur ever was, for sure. ]

So I closed my eyes, and I covered my ears, and when I looked back up, it was like this. [ It hadn't been intentional. She just wanted to stop feeling overwhelmed. But the Horizon is nothing if not often startlingly literal. ] What happened, to make Kaer Morhen change like that?
