[Actually, given that there isn't really much that Wirt can do about this situation, distractions are absolutely helpful.]
Yeah, I guess there really isn't a way of knowing. [And frankly Wirt isn't enough of a scientist to want to stay and figure it out once there's a way out of Wonderland. He's got stuff to do and a life to live at home.] Or at least, not one that can actually be tested. But that's...that's kind of amazing, that we could be living not just two lives but countless lives all at the same time in different worlds. What if there was one of us in every world that someone's from here? What if...I-I mean, the Earth is so populated that the odds are kind of impossible, but anyone here could be just someone who's passed through our lives and been forgotten about. It's kind of like...

So...it feels kind of like that, somehow.
