"You are Rae, correct?" Sashae asked.
Rae felt like collapsing. He was such an idiot, he actually let her speak first. Now she feels like she needs to help carry him through a conversation. What a nightmare.
"Yes, thanks for remem—I mean, I'm happy you remembered, not that you have a bad memory—"
Rae stopped talking. What the hell was he saying? Did he forget how language worked? Why wasn't his brain cooperating with him?
He was in the Sixth dimension. His thought speed should be enough to keep things flowing. So why did it feel like he spent an eternity thinking of absolutely nothing?
Just say something! Anything!
"Our names end in the same characters!" Rae suddenly sputtered out.
He slapped a hand to his forehead. What the hell was that?!
Sashae raised a hand to her soft lips and giggled. It was the first time Rae had heard her laugh, and it left him in a complete daze.
