"Merle Rideout"
Okay! We're back with the main character and how he came to be in Cleveland.
"How about humidity?"
This sounds sarcastic, as if Merle realizes Ed's preoccupation with all the variables related to Æther don't really matter. But it also could be Merle being earnest. It's hard to tell because text doesn't express tone and they're also drinking in a bar. Merle could be busting Ed's balls here. How can all these date points be measured in the Æther, being that it's a theoretical substance to help explain how a wave could be propelled through a vacuum?
