[ Oswald knows him, that cinches it. It erases what little doubt and hope he had in the back of his mind that it might be Oswald from the past. Either it's all in his head or it's Oswald taken from his head and really, what difference does that make?
Both the gentle tone and Jabberwock throw him off though, because when he reaches for Jabberwock it's still there in his mind, stirring uneasily. It's all wrong. 'Everything' he wants to answer. Everything is all wrong, but he falters. ]
I just thought— [ That he could be normal. That his mere presence didn't cause misfortune to others because he wasn't Glen here. What a foolish thought that was. He couldn't stay by Elliot's side after all and he was already harboring terrible truths that could destroy what could be considered his only other friend.
In hindsight it's absurd that he would think he could run from it. A laughable idea and he does actually laugh, only it's not so much a laugh, but a miserable, broken sound. ]
