[Venture snorts, clearly still not so sure.]

So... she won't try doing that again.] It was painful. I... relived some things I would rather have not. And I saw how things turned out in my world after I left it. My children are alive, and I'm grateful to know that, but they aren't well.
What of you? I can't imagine your experience was pleasant, either.
