"Hey! I'm not the one who came up with the idea! Wait, no. I mean, I did, but I wasn't me at the time and -

"Thirteen. I'm B13. I think. That's what everyone else tells me anyway."
"Thirteen!?"
"Yeah, you sound surprised, is that… important?"
"Well, I just - I did not expect everything to hold together for so long. So many iterations. Everything must be held together like grand piano dangling from a spiders thread. Just a little more weight and the whole thing falls to pieces."
"Sorry, I mean, it's just… look is any of this real? This, what, this sky boat? And you, are you real? You don't look… the same as you did before, and up until a few minutes ago this was definitely a dream."
Spoiler
The lady above is named Josephine Dubois. This looks like a much younger Josephine.
Josephine gives her a funny look.
"I don't look the same?"
"Oh! Yes. I'm, what? Twenty five years old now? Maybe younger?"
"Hah. Two decades of running a sugar factory, chasing around after beet farmers, and workers. A husband, friends, all those late nights in the lab. It takes a bit out of you."
She laughs to herself, a private joke. "That's one thing they don't tell you about death."
"What?"
"It works wonders for your complexion."
