It's only after he recovers from that and finally begins applying the bandages to Akechi's arm that he speaks.] You think we're all from parallel universes?
Why and how would anyone do that? [It's not the existence of alternate realities itself that troubles him so much. That may be unfamiliar to him, but he would not claim to have so much knowledge about the universe as to scoff at the idea. But the logistics of so many individuals from entirely different realities coalescing into this world seem nightmarish.
Still, he does finish up the bandaging even as his mind races through the idea.]
