Aside from just being brought to the Jorg itself, which is ostensibly Earth and doesn't count, Dan hasn't traveled the stars. He's gazed up at them, wondering what's there, imagining that they might be better than whatever troubled situation he's found himself in, but as such, "this planet" is a phrase that jars him.
He hates this, hates being in people's memories like this, because he hated it when they were in his.
He watches the Black girl on the bed with sympathy, her expression so full of catatonia and her body language so withdrawn, so vulnerable, so clearly anxious. Michael. His sympathy only increases when she responds to a gesture of kindness with a sudden onslaught of tears.
"Bereaved?" he asks the Ghost, hearing foster father and making guesses. He was nearly placed in foster, but for the kindness of a judge who didn't want to split all his siblings apart and the mercy of an older sister barely at the age of majority. "Recently, I reckon?"
