Jack looked out of the ball of light, astonished. Miller closed his palms and it disappeared.
"My dad was an awful man," Jack said. "And my mom... I had no idea that's what happened to her."
"You wanted to see, Jack," Miller explained. "It was your choice. But you chose what your father did not want. You chose to see, and it was because of that, you are here."
"It doesn't make sense," Jack said, shaking his head.
"Yes it does," said Miller. "Jack, can you think of nothing? Not just a black or gray plain, but physically nothing? You cannot. This is because there is no concept of nothing, because time itself will always exist. Not even a God can conceptualize nothing, and those that did have died. But as the timeline comes to an end, time itself stops existing? What happens? We do not know."
"But I can know," Jack said. "My dad didn't want the responsibility. He wanted a good person to win. He did not want to make time exist, because he knew he would just ruin it in the same way."
"I think I understand," Jack said.
"Good," Miller replied. "Now that you know the truth, you have a big responsibility. If you want to know what nothing looks like, just think hard enough and it will come. But when you do, you have to be ready to create."
"Create what?" asked Jack.
Miller smiled. "I don't know."
