[ It's a little surprising - the fact Johnny would even bring up that last part in the first place, especially after how this started. (Then again, that's typical of Johnny, isn't it? Strike first, think second.)

It shows, too, because it seems to render Daniel quiet for a moment. He glances ahead of him, using the fact that he's got to pay attention to the awful road instead as an excuse to be quiet for a moment before speaking up, and not that he had to just process that for a moment. ]

I've been here for a few days now. [ He then finally starts. ] And I still have absolutely no idea what's going on here.

[ Just in general. With this place. Everything. It's so confusing. ]

But if there's a bunch of kids in trouble, then it doesn't matter whether I know them, or whether I know what's going on at all. I'm not going to stand by while they're in trouble. [ Even if they're Johnny's kids, rather than his own. Daniel knows he would've done the same thing back home. ] Or let you run in there by yourself.

[ Because he has seen back home how that can end.. And in this place there's even a bigger chance that only one person might not be enough. ]

Even if that means-- I don't know, facing down some three-armed alien or whatever else this place has got in store. [ He doesn't know! Basically everyone he's run into seems to have some weird supernatural thing going on for them!

So this guy they're about to face probably does too. ]
