Yeah.

Yeah, he kinda expected that. Right from the moment he started trying to explain, actually. Of course that's how Benton reacts. How else could he react? How else could Carter ask him to react? He can't just demand that Benton somehow fast forwards through all the rational disbelief just because he says so.

And still...

And still the response stirs him up, emotions suddenly well up and he finds himself getting upset. Benton talking about getting back like they aren't trapped here. Then there's the overwhelming urge to yell at him because Carter had to deal with ghosts and evil fog and creatures that ripped people apart and left the down drenched in blood because the seasons were going backwards and he's caught off-guard just how much he can't handle it being dismissed like that.

He doesn't respond right away, needing a moment to bottle it all up, to keeping it all in.

"I guess," he finally says because if he says anything else he's going to scream.

The first houses show up and he leads them over to Phillips Drive.

"It's." He clears his throat, nodding at the first houses that show up in the distance. "It's right over there."
