[ Plenty to talk about with just themselves, after all. It suits Gil just fine that no souls nor replicas of souls are here to clamor for their attention right now. In the future though... Rey and Talia should both be 'here' (for lack of a better word) and Gil's going to want to try reaching them. And even beyond personal desire... If he and Rau have any ability at all to call someone else to them, then Rey is their likeliest bet to test that theory on. ]
I'm also curious about the dimensions of the copy. We can see outside just fine, but just visual confirmation means nothing. After we're cleaned up, we should go for a stroll.
[ Is it going to take conscious effort to expand the space of their memories or is the entire colony just 'pre-loaded' into their afterlife? Gil finally lets go of Rau's hand so he can head to the bathroom door and open it up without stepping through - what he sees is the expected hallway, the door to his bedroom slightly ajar on the right. He nods to himself.
Only then he realizes that maybe going for a walk in Mendel isn't the smartest idea. There isn't much space where the lab isn't right in sight. Gil recalls the reports of Rey's panic attack at Lodonia; bad enough that the doctors suspected physical contagions.
Ah well. Rau's an adult and he would hate to know Gil is even worrying. ]
