Little Blaine is silent for a moment before he moves a little closer and admitting, quietly, "I know it shouldn't damage me, but... I think I'm afraid of falling."
Quint nods. "Yes... but like I said, this time Mega didn't get infected. And I'm... I'm not really that other Rock. I'm a Wilybot." There's something in this that sounds like he says it to convince himself as well. It's hard having those memories, and sometimes it's easier to consider them an 'inheritance' from the dead rather than part of his past.
Getting back to the name thing lets him push those thoughts aside. "Yeah, though... Roll's the one who started saying it's a red herring, and she was named for something you put in an oven while Rock was named for the contents of his head."
He nods to the rest and just says, "It's been a lot longer than a week. And a lot has changed from that point. If we go by the games as what should have happened, we're pretty far from it now."
