It may simply be an impression with no basis in reality, but it seems to me that since the Natha have left, more people have returned to stasis.

You assume correctly. No magic whatsoever, save for the way drinking too much wine makes the world go soft around the edges.

Then you believe there to be a connection? How miserable. Perhaps we will all return to stasis soon. I would not want to be the last man awake.

I know a number of people who would insist that is not magic at all. [ just biology. or is it chemistry? science, at any rate. ]

I believe there may be one. [ he's still hoping to be wrong about it precisely because being the last man awake - he doesn't want to have to do that again, to be the last one standing, the only one left. ]
