"I'm not making anything up, but I understand why it would seem that way. People aren't supposed to know monsters exist back home, everyone keeps it that way on purpose." Jack personally thinks if more people knew, it could keep them protected from the predators, but he also gets that it's too much. Brains can only handle so much and it's better ultimately for everyone to live their normal lives. He doesn't blame her for being skeptical.

"In my world, monsters definitely hurt people. But people also hurt people." Human on human crime still very much exists, and Jack himself has dealt with humans who hurt one another. "Not all monsters are bad just like all people aren't bad." Sometimes his fathers are a little more black and white than he is about monsters, but that's because they're not one, like he is.

"I saw they have older phones here. I think you can get one on loan. Everything is on loan here." His room at the motel is too, but since he plans on getting jobs, he'll be able to cover that pretty soon.

"I'm Jack." He offers his hand.
