[Wirt doesn't know if it's really impressive or not. His parents and teachers and even Greg's dad keep saying he's bright, but that always kind of feels like what everyone says about the kids who don't quite fit in. It's never felt impressive but...this is also some adult who's never met him before, so it feels a little different coming from him.

That's the first explanation he's gotten that makes any sense of that though, and his eyes go wide at the thought.]

...Oh! Huh. So...there's two of me now?

[He still sounds kind of unsure, but a lot of the panic is gone. If that's true then Greg isn't alone and someone's looking after him.]

Are we both real? What would happen if I went back? Does one of us stop existing, or do we just kind of...I dunno. [He holds his hands in front of him and laces his fingers together.] Fuse together into one Wirt? I know we're supposed to forget about Wonderland when we leave, but something has to happen or we'd like, hear about people running into weird doubles of themselves.

[At home, of course. Like weird news articles saying things like I MET MY TWIN FROM ANOTHER WORLD right under BIGFOOT MARRIES MOTHRA or ELVIS IS ALIVE AND LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE.]
