Don't apologize. It's fine. I've had two years to realize that the past isn't all there is to life. Present and future is a lot more important.
(Besides, wishing for the impossible was the most guaranteed way to be completely miserable. There's a lot of things he has to be miserable about but there's some things he refuses. Getting the memory loss conversation out of the way was important though. After all, most people here knew things that were more "common".
He had no clue about a lot of things and it was just easier to explain it upfront than later when someone was giving him a weird look for not knowing what a movie was or something of the like.
Newt would likely argue that Gansey was plenty entitled. Wasn't every entitled to their pain? Newt wasn't that kind of person to say no.)
I don't know a lot about magic. Didn't really believe it was real for a while until my roommate helped me understand it a little better. It's still strange to me but not as impossible. Do you "participate" in magic? Is that like- doing strange things? Healing people or having future sight or turning into animals?
(He actually has already met two of the latter. He's assuming this is a common thing whoops. Kid has no idea how diverse magic is.)
It's hard to say. Monsters in my world were just meant to make us squirm, put us in situations so the Creators could watch and see what we would do. Intent is a lot murkier than people here seem to want to admit. Truth is we don't know what the 'gods' actually want. It could be...many things. Two ways is pretty limited. I'd say there's much more than that.
There's also the option that the monsters are an accident. If they come from other worlds just as we do then maybe there's no rhyme or reason to them coming through anymore than there seems to be for us to come through. Maybe they're intentional. Maybe they represent different things we're supposed to do. Maybe something in the tunnels attract them and that's why they cluster there.
Who knows.
(Newt hesitates a moment, just frowning down at his screen. Eventually he makes up his mind.)
If you want, I could help you learn to fight a little. Anyone can throw a punch but that won't do shit against a troll. I'm pretty decent with things like spears. Spears are nice. You can throw them or fight and if you're good- you can defend with them too.
