Haven't they always been dangerous? [ steve blinks, not quite sure if he's assuming something wrong here or not. ] Or does he just mean since we started showing up?

[ the name lyle doesn't ring any bells, but who knows. if steve had any access to...any of the kids back home, or nancy at this point, he's pretty sure all of this mystery would have been worked out by now. as it stands, he barely even knows anything about thorne. ]

Is it really that bad over there? [ and then, at the question, steve shakes his head. ] They didn't say anything about that, but I don't think so? Unless zombies are so normal people don't bring them up anymore.
