[ Ange puts down her cup of tea, letting out a hum. ]

Technically this isn't anything like the catbox back home. Sure, that one was also sustained by magic, but there was something a little more to it here. Like.. belief. As long as no one knew whether the cat in the box was dead or alive, they could freely speculate, leading to that place's existence.

[ Granted, the girl already talks about this pretty easily in her regular form, having grown accustomed long ago to all this metaphysical nonsense. You can't live in her world without thinking about it, after all.

But it's even more easy and natural now. She doesn't even seem to think about slowing down for Oscar or anything, like she's just expecting him to keep up.

He is a wizard, after all. ]

There's no such thing here. No one has to wonder whether the cat in the box was alive or dead, since they can just peek in and look. I guess it doesn't necessarily make this place better or worse than that place, just fundamentally different in nature. I'm carrying this place with my power alone.

[ .. a small pause, then she tilts her head, glancing away from Oscar and instead out across the roses. ]

Or, well, I suppose not just mine alone. This place can only be a proper world since Ruby was there with me when I formed it.
