Contacts ain't such a bad idea....if whatever makes this place run will let 'em work.

[Emphasis was placed on the 'if' when he spoke, because there was no way any of them could predict how the shifts worked and what the residents of this world could do to have any affect on them.]

But you're right. It doesn't matter if it's contacts or glasses or shades or whatever else we come up with-- I know I'm not gonna let something like that happen again. Once...

Heh. Once is more than enough.
