Peter pauses in his survey of this strange place when he felt the hand on his arm. It's more than the touch that makes him pause-- it's what he senses from the person. Interested, he turns to the other man.

"Honestly? It reminds me of that place in The Shining. And if there was a way to leave, I wouldn't be here talking to you."

Sorry to put it so bluntly, new acquaintance, but it's true: Peter's ability to bend space doesn't seem to be working here.
