( Peter was really not expecting an answer. he's more than happy to have a psychotic break all on his own. because that has to be what is happening, it's the only explanation for waking up in 1960s California with a family he's never met and doorways to Christmas Villages randomly set into a sleepy suburban street. these sorts of things don't just happen. they can't just happen, existence has orderly rules and even the kid with spider mutated genes thinks there's a breaking point of believability.
he startles at the voice, even though there's no hint of threat in it. Peter notices Erwin proper after he hears him, because he doesn't have any spider senses to warn him about someone approaching. his grip on the doorknob is impossibly tight, glance delaying to the unexpected company before roaming back to the frosty winter village just in front of both of them. )
So you see it too? ( Peter isn't sure it that makes him feel better or worse. he releases the door handle, suddenly, like it burned him. ) How can this be real? What is happening? ( if he sounds a little panicked, well, it's because he is a little panicked. how many bizarre and inexplicable things are going to happen to him in the span of a few days? wasn't being uprooted from his life and trapped here enough? )
oh no my emotions what a good commander :(
