That's right.

[ You brilliantly astute stranger. ]

Although, I will correct you on two things.

[ You little shit. ]

One: Under normal circumstances, I can't take anyone to another environment. This appears to be relegated to shared dreams. If you and I were standing in an ocean of blood in reality, I would have no power to take us anywhere else.

[ Maruki couldn't even necessarily make him think that he wasn't in said ocean of blood. Actualization doesn't quite work like that. ]

Two...

[ He leans forward then, elbows propped up on his knees and hands clasped in front of him to rest beneath his chin as he surveys the boy. ]

I'm a passenger as much as anyone else. I have no ability to influence my own perception of reality. I'm beholden to the "true reality," whatever that might be, even if no one else is. Funny loophole, huh?
