It's not technically wrong, but it's not really right either. The Balladeer had just assumed that she'd understood how he did what he did. Audiences always got it right away. If they started questioning where exactly his narration was coming from, nothing would ever get done. Then again, audiences didn't get to hear him explain how he lived out the same scenes over and over endlessly...or actually tend to interact with him as a person at all. Someday he's really going to have to learn not to use them as a benchmark for "regular folks".

"No, it's totally not possible," he says with a shrug, casually. As if reading people's lives through song is just a normal thing. Of course he's always known it isn't, and since talking to Bee he's coming to understand a little more how it must seem to other people, but...he'd just sort of thought Greta knew.
