Ethan would have liked to know what paragons meant, but he wasn't about to ask. "And EZ-pass with a 'skip the line' benefit," Ethan said with a soft snicker. "Although maybe we're all dead now and this is some version of Hell. Or... what's that word... limbo? Can't remember. So maybe our EZ-pass malfunctioned and here we are."
He didn't really believe in an afterlife in any shape or form, but that didn't matter. Sometimes Ethan thought he was laying in a hospital somewhere in a coma, dreaming all of this. Dorothy had adventures in Oz while knocked out... it would just figure that Ethan got stuck in Zenith.
