What makes what we experienced a delusion? I know a lot of us are happy to call it that. Or a dream, an unreality, an illusion.
But. Given the assumption that this world itself is not a delusion, that you're not going to wake up from Oz and are functionally reminding the Tin Man to sit down and have a drink, and we are all in fact real people -- and also, evidence that other states and worlds and realities exist, like the Horizon, or like those of us who aren't from Earth, and even a good few who are and whose timelines don't quite match up with each other --
We have memories, in that life where we had powers, whatever you want to call it. Ones we can agree on. People we know, friends we made without having met them here, that we remember the faces of without priming or prompting. What makes it a delusion and this Abraxas real, except that it's unreachable?
