That’s really an excellent question, and I have a lot of theories about that, but I didn’t bring any of my notes, unfortunately. [Okay, nerd. Koby exhales, nudging his glasses up his nose and adding:] I know it sounds insane. If I hadn’t lived it, I would think it’s insane. But I promise it’s all true.
So, um. You know how our world exists? The land and the boats and all that, where people live? And then there’s the sky where birds are, and the ocean, where fish and sea monsters and whales and things are? [Koby isn’t great at metaphors, but he feels that this is the closest to actually conveying the truth of things, so he gestures, indicating various levels of the basic world – ocean, land, air.] Well, what if there were more, um…worlds. And they existed next to each other, like the ocean and the land, but they never interacted, except when like – a bird catches a fish out of the water?
It’s sort of like that. This place and the place we were before are like the bottom of the sea, and our home is like land. And you can’t...be in both at the same time.

[A pause.]
Does that make any sense at all?
