"Going home right now would kind of mean being in prison. I've decided that I like it here more than there. Even if maybe it's a prison of some sort." He thought about it for a second. "I'm not really the mysteries of things sort of guy. That would be Charlie's department. I'm just Ted. I just, I suppose I don't really know what would make me feel better here."
What did that leave? "I guess that makes me the guy who just wants to be?"
Maybe that Zen was rubbing off on him.
"I suppose things could be worse, right? Being trapped in a morgue with a space girl and a hairy slightly frightening guy wasn't particularly my cup of tea, but we survived without having to eat corpses." Was Ted looking at the bright side of things? Had he become an optimist? Or was he merely trying to find the silver lining somewhere here so that he wouldn't feel so out of sorts?
