The [[Megan]]-clone implies that Megan has been taken to some kind of {{w|afterlife}} or parallel universe outside reality. It's not a dream, but she will not remember this place when she goes back. But the clone hopes that these hints will stay with her. Realizing that she would not remember being here, Megan suddenly realizes that she might already have been here before. And the clone admits that she has taken her to this place once before. Although not for another hint; actually it was to make out with herself. And then she quickly says ''bye''. | The [[Megan]]-clone implies that Megan has been taken to some kind of {{w|afterlife}} or parallel universe outside reality.
