Much of this goes over the ten-year-old's head.

Much of it.

But she considers the idea, anyway, or tries. It's true that some of the hype-heads and derelicts in Old Town experience reality very differently from most people. But every person doing so? 'No objective observable truth' makes it sound like the whole world is all in one's head.

"I've... heard of people being off in their own little world, when they're day-dreaming, but all that makes it sound like the actual world itself is just... something people make up as they go." War and death and destruction and all. She struggles to put her thoughts into words. "Like, if there is no obj... objective observable truth, there is no actual real reality for everyone to be experiencing and interpreting. They can't experience something that doesn't exist."

Rae shakes her head - she doesn't buy it. Or get it, really. "The... world I come from is real enough, without needing me to interpret it."
