[ There's a long moment where it looks like they might not say anything at all. They just stare into space, chewing their lip.
It's strange. They've already confronted death - their own, and other people's - over the six months they've been here, and it didn't bother them quite as much. Maybe it's the circumstances, or the week-long buildup of general misfortune they'd suffered beforehand. Maybe it's the fact that they know something is missing, even if they don't know what.
Or maybe it's just the fact that they got drunk off of practically no booze like an idiot. Any of these are a valid theory for this mystery. ]
I've seen some of the others. And lived through it myself, recently. [ If he's quiet, then they're just... flat, though there's a dry chuckle thrown in at the unintentional joke. ] Or, ah, not, as the case may be.
[ There's another pause, and then- ] It's not fun. But I'd rather not let anyone go into it unawares, if they have to risk it at all.
