[A nod. Yup. That. You definitely do not, under most circumstances.]

Yeah. The same strange quintessence that created it was what we were trying to track down. But our ship got attacked and we had to ditch out in the middle of the Quantum Abyss. Problem is, the whole place is dangerous. Get too close to a gravity well and the space time drop offs, you can get stretched into nothingness. But there were these creatures. They looked like whales, but gigantic. Big enough that they managed to have an entire ecosystem on their backs, created their own atmosphere. So Mom -- Krolia -- and I hitched a ride on one.

We made the best of it. Built a shelter. Found Kosmo, hunted, trained. She's an incredible fighter, trained a lot of the other Blades too. But... at the same time, because of where we were, we kept experiencing all these flashes of each other's past, and sometimes future. I saw when she came to Earth, when she met Dad. When we were a family.

[And then he saw other things. Some things he saw then he couldn't fully understand, not until later. Later it was all too clear. Keith shakes those memories and adds,] It took us two years. But we made it through. And getting out we did in a much shorter time. And for everyone else, barely any time had passed at all.
