Blue was gone as quickly as she had come on. He watched her retreat at the chest behind folded arms. At least she knew. No matter what else happened, Blue knew what was real.
"What? I wasn't here," Gansey said, so taken aback that his tone betrayed his defense. He tried again, "I've never been here, Blue. I don't even know how I got here, but I've never seen this place before." Or after. Or ever. Which brought up another point: if time was circular, how come Gansey didn't know this place? Nearly everything he'd experienced since his second resurrection had come attached with a strange sense of deja vu. Not that morning. Everything felt new. Perhaps it would be exciting, once the shock wore off and some questions were answered.
"What happened?" His voice was soft, private. He stepped in a touch, not too close; Blue might've needed her space. Gansey was scared. That wasn't something he wanted to broadcast. No one needed to be any more alarmed than they already were.
