Thorn: We’re taking the train to Crown Hill . . . Uh, does your world have subways?
MThorn: Yes, I know what a train is!
Thorn: Okay! Just checking.
You must have a million questions about my life . . . I’ll start answering once we’re home.
One thing that’s not too sensitive for me to say out here is . . . It gets easier.
MThorn: Thanks? Um. What does?

Oof his mom isn’t dead, huh?
Quite possibly, considering that I think he’s about the same age as when it happened in this universe, iirc? Still, I interpreted it more as “Well, you’re a version of *me*, so I can only assume that you’ve been traumatized in some fashion,” hence the vagueness of “It gets easier” as a general catch-all to help one cope with traumatic experiences.
Getting sent to another universe with no clear way of returning home is going to be pretty traumatizing. Even if MThorn hasn’t really figured that out yet.
Of course she’s not dead. She just never appears in the show.
Uh oh. Thorn’s about to discover that Teen!Thorn has had a MUCH easier life than he did at that age, and the jealousy is going to flow in the opposite direction than he might have thought.
