[ Matthew doesn't have enough imagination to even begin to guess the horrifying truth, but he's not forgotten the bad things that have already happened, or that Ronan and his friends are tangled up in events much greater than Matthew's understanding of them. His brother already makes dreams real, became friends with a ghost, found a magic forest that brought their mother back, had a murderer for a Latin teacher, and probably lots of other things have happened to him that Matthew doesn't even know about.
And now, maybe, even more things Matthew doesn't know about. ]
