[ Rogers is different. Most people, they might know they're in a simulation, but their gut still tells them that it's a long drop to the ground. But he's seen Rogers as he came out of that tube, and he knows that he carries his understanding of the distinction between real and not real down to the bone. It's written into his body, the strength in it. But that won't serve him everywhere: those muscles are made up of so much code, just like the distance between here and there.
Will states the obvious anyway. A little drily, going through the motions. There are more and more people waking up these days, and only so many teachers. ]
You have to believe your body can do the impossible.
