Now, that was definitely one of the strangest things he'd heard in his brief time in Panem so far. But ... he figures it must be possible. If everyone here is pulled in like he was, from different worlds and times, then it was certainly possible for one of those worlds to be one infested with zombies. Of course, that also meant that someone could come from a world with giant Godzilla-like monsters, too. It sure makes haunted animatronics not seem as bad.
"Y-Yeah," Jeremy answers, a point they can definitely agree on. As frightening and vengeful as the animatronics were, they'd have no reason to be if that one real monster hadn't put them in that position in the first place. They had every right to be angry and confused. "I hear you on th-that one."
He can only imagine what it must be like, though, wherever Daryl's from. Just because Jeremy's seen a few movies doesn't mean that's at all how it is, and he has no idea how he'd react in a situation like that. Dead people digging themselves out of their graves? Feasting on the living? Yeah, that's a lot worse than a serial child murderer. He's almost certain he'd be one of the first people to be eaten - unpleasant a thought as it is. Yeah, definitely not in the mood for mushrooms now.
"... kids," he says the word quietly, hands at either side of his head, ready to start scratching and digging in if explaining it gets to be too much. Even though Daryl's admitted that he believes his word, Jeremy knows it still sounds crazy, and yet he relives it every time he has to explain it. Everything he saw on those monitors, everything he scrambled to write down in his notebook so he wouldn't forget. But now? Now, that's all he ever wants - forget, and move on. "They were ... j-just kids. They-- they didn't ... deserve wh-what happened to them."
