There are a lot of reasons he might want to know, a lot of reasons that he does want to know, but Sam merely shrugs, looking as if it had been nothing more than a polite inquiry.
"Everyone comes from a different place, more or less," he explains. "And... sometimes, the memories of that place come back to haunt you. Literally. And not just you."
That's too foreboding to let lie, so he sighs and goes on: "Wonderland's got a way of... twisting our memories and bringing them through here. We call them 'events,' and they crop up every few weeks."
Some are kinder than others. He thinks briefly of his own, of the rooms that bore dream-like fantasies. That hadn't been so bad (though it was arguably cruel).
"So if I catch sight of any, uh... French flags, I know who to blame," he finishes by way of offering levity.
