"A fellow by the name of Number Five seems to think the photo is of importance. I would give it to him." Either it is no longer important then, or all the years the photos were taken would end up meaning something that Five can make sense of.

"We are five, at the moment, but we are making do with an extra mattress and the couch. They had stayed because of the snowstorm, but we would not ask them to leave if they have made themselves comfortable." Besides, Neal hasn't fully recovered and Negan... well Negan just kind of does whatever he wants and they are happy to have him around regardless.

Coming to a stop perching against the backrest of the couch, Doc slips into a more casual lean and listens to her theory. It made sense, right up to the end. What... other way?

"There are no animals. No vehicles. I can't imagine they were all blessed with Mister Five's gifts..." Doc drums his fingers against the back of the couch as he considers. He would have just hunkered down and stayed indoors until the bad weather passes them by. Back in the day, no shops or schools or services would have opened if they were hit by days or weeks of unforgiving weather. They did not have this concept of 'business as usual'. But that doesn't mean she's not right. It has been a string of unusual weather phenomena in a relatively short span of time and who is to say they didn't have a yearlong killer fog problem once?

"...of course. The cave!" he exclaims as he straightens up. As if she knows what he's talking about. "The last time we woke up somewhere we did not sleep in the night prior, I had awoken in a wet and dark cavern. We had followed the light thinking it would have led us out-" and also because of Doc's crippling claustrophobia meaning he would have never gone deeper into the darkness but that's neither here nor there and hopefully would never come up in conversation, "-but what if we had ventured further into the dark?"
