When Jan first dives into his explanation, Walter briefly feels like his blood's run cold.
It's odd for him to mention it on first meeting. But then, maybe that's just the lives of the Numbered, now; running into each other at an increasing rate, an increased below-consciousness sensitivity to others who've had Echoes...
"I believe you," he ends up saying. "And you're right, it is like science fiction. I couldn't tell you what was causing it, though."
Someone, in their enthusiasm, shoves an entire mug of beer in Walter's direction; spotting it, he deftly avoids the slosh, maneuvering to keep Jan away from it as well.
"Your pardon," he says, then, turning back to the engineer, "Thanks."
Funnily enough, someone manifested a lightsaber at this very parade. XD
