Given that Cash wasn't eating, Ford had expected to hear he wasn't sleeping well either. He should have been relieved by this answer, but something about the way Cash said it made it sound like it wasn't actually a good thing. Ford frowned faintly, not sure what to say about it. He wasn't going to tell Cash to stop sleeping so much. He didn't know what question to ask to try and dig deeper into the thing that seemed vaguely wrong in Cash's tone. He'd just have to move on and hope that if it was something they needed to talk about, it would come up again. But maybe it wouldn't — there was so much they needed to talk about. Cash might have been bottomless, as a person, but sometimes it seemed like his issues were bottomless, too.

"You said before that sometimes things stop feeling real," Ford began. Those weren't the words Cash had used, but that was the impression they had made on Ford; a disconnect from reality. "What do you do, when that happens?"
