"I thought it would be an adventure," Mathias admits, his lips pressed into a thin line briefly. There are other reasons -- he wanted to forget about missing Veronica just for an afternoon and he certainly got his wish -- but for the most part, he'd been looking for that sense of adventure that he missed. Now he isn't so sure it's something he needs, even when he is feeling his most restless.
"I think I would have gotten that, if not for the accident," he continues. "If you do go, just make sure you take someone with you or that people know where you are. Which I'm sure you know already and I sound like I'm lecturing now." He laughs quietly and shakes his head. "I just don't want to think about what might have happened had I been alone."
He owes a lot to both Danny and Neil for the parts they played that day. Even with all the hallucinations of the vines, Danny had kept him relatively calm and Neil had been the one to go for help. If he'd gone by himself, he likely would still be down there, though no longer alive.
