This admittedly feels a bit better than the concrete questions that Ran had been asking -- not because she doesn't want those answers, but because they hit something more, something deeper. It feels like she's hitting more of what she needs. Maybe she's needing to lay the base of some measure of trust again before she can deal with the rest.

And with it . . . maybe some sense of familiarity, solidity in all that's foreign.

"I'm doubting everything right now," she says softly. "Even my own perceptions."
