[ His face grows somber at the mention of McCree. He knows that while he had never seen eye to eye with either of them, he had been fond of the boy too. But there's more to it than that. He knows the truth of it. ] He was awake here...once. He returned to the pods a little bit after I arrived.
[ Because it's something Reyes must know. They can go back. They can be sent back into the pods to sleep. He's been back twice and he still doesn't know why they released him again each time while others who'd gone back stayed there. ]
I don't know why they sleep. I think it's because they aren't ready to come out yet. Or maybe because they don't want the world below to be overwhelmed by all of us all at once. I was returned here when I...[He can't say it. He can't look this man in the face and say he died.] was very badly injured. These pods healed me. So maybe they need to heal still, from the Storm that destroyed our worlds. We've really never been told why they sleep. Just that they do. And that while they sleep, they are safe.
[ Which is why Reinhardt won't press for answers. That, and he's not that sort of man. All he needs to know is that those he loves are safe and sound. He's lost too many and knowing that those he care for are up here, protected, it's enough for him. ]
