"Nah. You in a different timeline died in prison. You, in this one, are here right now." He keeps petting Price's head.

Price doesn't need to know that Dan and Bunny fiddled with Dan's timeline, reversed the course on every bad thing that ever happened to Dan, made a world in which s Danny Sartoris made it to his adulthood having never grieved or seen death - and here Dan is, separate from that timeline, remembering things that technically never happened now. A completely different person.

Price can be a completely different person too.

"I know what you mean. Wanting to just...be. But that ain't the world we live in."
