While everyone was still shocked about what the old man revealed, I just asked him, "Have you heard of anything else in this place? You said that this was a pocket in space, so that means that there's a limit to how much space is here. Have you heard of any other outposts in this same pocket in space."
The old man was surprised that I had accepted what he said this easily.
After all, the rest of my group were completely shocked because of what he said.
At the same time, the old man himself had spent quite a bit of time processing all of this before he had been able to accept this as well.
So he didn't expect someone to accept this fact so easily.
But he quickly said, "I haven't heard of any others in this place. From what I've heard, it seems like this was the only outpost that was here."
I couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed when I heard this, but I was also a bit relieved.
