Nico grimaced unhappily. She had some idea of how to talk to people who didn't want this situation to be true. How to talk to someone who didn't want to believe it because they wanted it to be true was right back out of the things she knew how to respond to.

(And she was just going to ignore the parts about humans being 'engineered for weirdness'. Something to deal with later.)

"Look, I get that it's weird, but this is actually happening," she said as comfortingly as she could. "And it's not going to have as many rules as you might think it does, because shows and movies and books cut out everything that's not important. But this is real."
