There's a theory, where I'm from -- Tengmark's something, if I recall correctly. [Damien's thirst for knowledge is second only to his lust for power, so he's done a lot of reading in his time, but multiverse theory isn't something he's overly familiar with, even so. he had no reason to be. he really wishes he did, now]
[either way, though, he waves a hand] Unimportant. [a beat] What is important is that it's an explanation for at least some of this, if only because it touches on the idea that there are multiple realities, all existing side by side. Every choice you make, every choice everyone else does, every quirk of ecology, every butterfly that flaps its wings, it all splinters off into something new. And so Chicago exists, where I'm from, and this -- this Lakeland does, where you are. [he barks out a laugh] It explains how I can be human, and you're so very not.
Or at least I'm assuming the ears are real? [and that that's an indicator that he's not human]
