What's a problem back home is a problem back home. [The words come through evenly and clearly through the night air, and he seems to lean on them heavily. Jason can't allow the parallels to win out. He can't let his inability to focus to win out. And he can't let Hiro know how much they're screwing with his head, making him feel like he got the wind knocked out of him. None of these things can happen. He won't let them happen.]

You're trying to fix your messes back home, but you can't. That isn't why we're here. [Though as much as Jason would like to compartmentalize the two modes of existence—here and back home—he can't. He knows that no matter what he tries, he will still be different coming out on the other end of the Drabwurld. But some things can't be helped.]

We're here to make sure that we can fix the shit we left behind. It's as simple as that.
