Chris isn't wrong in the slightest. Sam's mind wants to connect the Between with the Seam, but after all the reading he'd done, he's pretty sure that just like the BTs, like DOOMS, like every other fucking weird thing about the world, it's going to be unique to him. Which...well, that's not the worst thing. It just gives him another excuse not to talk about it (except people are going to ask questions and he'd answer just to make them not ask any more).

Sam is quiet, accepting even as he gives that ever-present paranoid look to everything and everyone, though he'd have to admit that suddenly being handed cash is...kind of cool. At least it means he'd be able to grab those clothes in his own time. The map is a relief at least, and you can bet he'd be keeping that on him in perpetuity.

He doesn't actually ask many questions, just accepting whatever they'd tell him and trusting that sooner rather than later, he'd just be let loose.

[[Totally fine, I figure Chris can leave Sam to their own devices and they can meet again later if you like.]]
