He can’t turn to some other guy and ast him if he sees it too. He can’t tell. He got nothing to measure by. I seen things out here. I wasn’t drunk. I don’t know if I was

Frobisher’s beliefs in reincarnation lend to finalize the connections between Frobisher and Rey that link to the other main characters. Mitchell presents the first signs of reincarnation embodied in a comet shared by Rey and Frobisher. The comet-shaped birthmark serves as a sign that Rey’s “memories” are indeed memories.
