"It's... Somewhat hard to explain. Planes aren't directly next to each other, like, say, I am to my daemon. I'm technically from another planet, but it's more accurate to say that I'm from another plane. There are some places that are closer to others because of how each plane works - in basic terms, one plane can have any number of quirks to it that bring it closer to other planes in some senses, but further away from others in another sense. In the physical sense, this specific part of the world isn't any closer to any part of mine."

He motions around them! "This was, apparently, closest in terms of how easily it could be to get to in comparison to something in my plane. It was more similar, in terms neither of us could fully understand, or at least nothing I could understand, and I've studied it most of my life. There are planes that seem similar to us on the surface, but at the core are utterly, completely different."

The kagu decides to join in with, "It's a complicated subject. No one is quite sure how they work. Some are clustered together, some aren't - some are far, far away from each other but seem near the same."
