Hm. [He can't really deny it. He's never experienced virtual reality before so how could he know for sure they weren't in one now?]
Well, [He takes her hand in his own. In a way that he can make slow circles with his thumb around the back of her hand and over her knuckles. In a way that Rem use to comfort him.] I can tell you that besides getting to stop at different planets along the way this feels very much like what traveling in space was like.
Even more than that. If this is another virtual reality, well then, I don't think that should change us. All of us; as people. How we feel and our memories are still who we are. Our experiences and how we choose to act to them make us who we are.
If this is virtual reality? I don't think that right. Probably even less right then forcing people on a reality television show. But, if I find out it was? I don't think it would lessen the interactions I've had with people. Like tonight, even if this world isn't real, I will not regret or think less of this night and the fact that I was able to meet you here.
[If he found out she wasn't real? He'd be a lot more devastated. He doesn't want to say that out loud, however, as he so badly wants her at least to be real.]
