Ellie shrugs, though of course Melanie can't see it; it's just her normal reaction.
"I don't know. See...back home we didn't have shit like magic and whatever. I mean, you heard all the weird shit people said, right? Malcolm thinks maybe no one actually lived here. John thinks people absolutely did. I...guess I kind of agree with John. I think people lived here. Who the fuck could fabricate the whole place to make it seem like people with lives and families lived here? Maybe my imagination just sucks."
It doesn't, but she's out of her depth in this place.
"So I think something terrible happened, but most people had some warning. Maybe they were in on it. I don't know. Maybe they never had shit like cars here to begin with. What I can't get over is that there's no animals or bugs or whatever. Like...how, y'know?"
