Right.

[So, onward they go. The first few portals are primarily dead ends, unfortunately, either because they don't lead to anywhere that either of them would want to look for, or because even if Zib recognizes something in the portal, it's often because it's from a planet other than Earth being shown. (Take for example, the Snarl Beast. Looks like a cute kitten, but Zib very quickly ushers them past the portal that has these things before it can spot them, stating "just trust me on this one, you don't want it to take notice of us here")

Until they come across another portal that looks like... oh, wait, isn't that Zib's kitchen again? This time, however, it looks like it's not dinner time happening yet, and his sister Gaz is sitting alone playing her game slave again.]


--Oh, hold on, here's one! Gaz! Gaaaaz!

[He calls out to her, and unlike last time, she actually does look up from her game at him... albeit, very slowly, and with the murderous glare of someone who really doesn't want to be interrupted right now.]

"What."

Is Dad there with you? I need to talk to him.

"Why?" [A pause, before she looks past him, at Ange.] "Who's that?"

... That's what you're curious about? Not "why am I on the other side of a portal", or "why do I look like this"?

"That would require caring about whatever weird nonsense you're up to this time. Although, you are right about being grosser to look at than usual."

[W... well, at least his sister seems to have a working pair of eyes noticing that her brother doesn't look normal? Still not a great response, though.]
