Nadine understands the need for a sense of normalcy. And she can guess that a kid from what sounds like a pretty regular Earth sitting in a very American and familiar bit of the Horizon is probably looking for just that.
In some ways, she thinks, it's easier for the younger Summoned. Kids have very accepting and open minds. The entirety of the situation is likely to be easier for them to grasp as real and possible. But it's the little things, the day to day. That sudden lack of stability and the familiar that often hits harder in younger hearts. And while she's not entirely sure how old Carl is, she'd put him somewhere between fourteen and seventeen. A difficult enough stretch of years as it is.
"And there is a funhouse. It wouldn't be a carnival without one. Maze, silly mirrors, spinning bridge...all that fun stuff. But no clowns. I once saw an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark with a funhouse clown and it freaked me out."
