Ketchup had a theory. He described it as he drove me through the depths of the one-story seaside city, as it tapered into the beach and ultimately dissolved into an ocean that on a day a shade mistier would have swallowed the horizon as well.
'You know, man, I took three and a half days away from home...'
'Wait, so you left the house for three and a half days?'
'Right.'
'Yeah, that's about how long it takes.'
'Right? And I got back and everything was better, and I thought maybe that how's the Universe is. Maybe at some point it got too much, and it was like, you know, you guys, just go and do your own thing and we'll see you in a couple... oh, a couple trillion years...'
'It needed some space.'
'Exactly'.
