Outside what? Now that he knows what the sneezing indicates, he realizes this has created a distinct imbalance in the conversation, one that hits a little too close after the time Tim was subjected to forced truth-sharing.

"I... don't know," he says. "I don't know about any gods. The rift is like... a portal, I guess? Between worlds? So like, you and me, we come from different... places. I got pulled out of mine and dropped into a different time and place. This city. The rift doesn't let us leave."

This is disjointed but at least it's all apparently true enough to pass the sneezing test. He shrugs haplessly. "That's all I - all I can-" He catches another eye-watering sneeze in his sleeve.

Well, fine. But he's not going to just offer up more information. He looks up at her warily.
