And-- [The other death, the obvious one, the only one that had felt real until the sea swallowed him up and Doppio wondered if it would finally be over for good.] Yeah, don't worry.

[It's embarrassing and comforting, all at once, to mention it to the Boss. After all, it's the kind of thing one would imagine might make someone entirely unfit for a position like the one Doppio used to hold, and yet, the Boss always accepted it. More than that, he let Doppio know it was fine.

So, if it was still happening, it had to be fine now too, and it shouldn't mean anything. If he's experiencing something he experienced back home, why on Earth would it have something to do with anything from here?]
