[ iris would love to assuage his fears, but they're too valid to dismiss.
moreover, she really does believe that fear can be a good and healthy thing — to a degree. it shouldn't paralyze them when they need to act. it shouldn't keep them from what's important. but fear can also let them know what risks are worth taking. fear kicks their survival instincts into gear, and that's what keeps them going when every other fiber of their being wants to lay down and call it quits. fear is what makes them push a little harder.
(iris isn't scared of dark matter. she's scared of time, even if she doesn't know it.) ]
We can jump now.
[ what? it would hardly be the first time. ]
We can stay outside until we know more, or check on everyone in the other floors. [ it'll be better than pacing a hole into the room. ]
