"... is it something myriad of different spaces? ……
Gaius responded to Melba's whining.
"There is. Maybe. Because I came through all sorts of different spaces while I was being flown into different spaces. Does that feel like it's rotten enough already?
Then now Side Chester asked Gaius a question.
"You said earlier that you might have made out because we've known each other for a long time, but then why didn't you meet Master Carla or Master Elle?
"Uh-huh... maybe that's because I'm not worried about them..."
"Aren't you worried? Does that mean that if you're Carla or El, you can just leave me alone?
"Yes. I think it's because I think I think those two would go back on their own sooner or later"
"Oh. I still think it probably makes sense that Mr. Shester met in his dreams before he came to this different space. It's like a predictive dream, I guess. Because that's how Mr. Shester actually wandered into different spaces afterwards. That's not normal. And this is how we meet in this different space. There is no reason for this to be a coincidence. It can't be any coincidence."
"So it's no coincidence that you said the phase was close?
Then Gaius looked difficult and thought about it.
"... maybe. Maybe these things have something to do with me being a singularity..."
"The singularities... but you didn't know the singularities yourself, did you?
Then Gaius nodded slowly with his little elusive face.
"Sort of. But to a certain extent, I'm going to know. I think the peculiarities attract a variety of events, whether you prefer it or not."
"Hmm... whether you prefer it or not... but Lady Carla and the Els didn't attract it... you said earlier that maybe it was because you weren't worried about them, but then wouldn't you be sorting the subjects you consciously attract?
"Sure. But that's not about consciousness. I realized later that I thought Carla and the others would be fine. That's why, for the first time, I was conscious, but until then, I was only conscious. That's not why I consciously sorted out the subjects to attract. However, there is no denying the possibility that something subconscious has sorted the subject."
"I see. subconscious subconscious intent... but then again, it seems like it would unconsciously sort only what it likes, but isn't it..."
