He\u2019s concerned by the tourist who can\u2019t get herself off the ground. Dorian explains that if we ever get lost we should press the \u201crespawn\u201d button which will put us right back where we began. He sighs heavily and says: \u201cSooner or later everybody gets lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

That and the boat ride, the headsets, the schedule, the stress. The movies on the main programme: they\u2019re largely a known quantity. Whereas the \u201cextended reality\u201d exhibits out on VI island are almost too much to process; we lack even the grammar and the language to frame them.
