He was supposed to visit Knives' world ages ago. That was the whole reason he got invested in being able to jump through the multiverse at will, wasn't it? Not to just... mess around and see what he could find just by tuning it at random. No, that was just... procrastinating, really. Ignoring his own nerves about the idea under the guise of 'testing it out', 'making sure it worked'.
