[It strikes Cooper as kind of funny, the way Carmen is fond of the very same metaphor Albert is now using.]
It's not yellow bricks, but you'll find a path called Route 29 that leads through a forest to the next town.
[There's a small pause where he thinks about it, recalls his own journey through that forest. It had been cold and alien, but surprisingly easy to embrace. Then again, that was a thing Coop was notorious for doing, and he knew it. Knew he was often referred to as odd for reasons much like that one.]
[Albert will have a harder time with that. Will take a long time to even accept his starter, of Cooper knows him right. He'll have to ask about that later and consider ways he could help out (maybe ask Carmen to lend her Salamence so he could pick Albert up himself - it seems kind of like a good solution for everyone involved), but for now he understands the need for clarification and the most important details.]
I don't know what caused us to wind up here, much less why, but trust me when I say that it's real.
