"Y'know, at least Wonderland A had like, reasons for being the way it was, kinda? Like we had theories. Here they just found out about what happens if you die too many times and people have been here for years. And that still doesn't touch what this place is or who actually runs it."
He shrugs again. "Gonna have to fight a fool eventually no matter which letter Wonderland I'm in, though, so. Here I am."
