Mono squinted. He heard other adults phrase things like that… But it just seemed like a fancy way of saying she liked to be organized. But he had meant it was a good thing, of course. Just a weird good thing that he was trying to be better at these days too, even if he wasn’t always sure how… But lists were a good start, thus Mono was very pro lists.

“Yeah, there’s people that’ve been here even longer than me, though!” The kid confirmed, knowing that it sounded pretty unreal, and hoping that she didn’t think he was telling fibs or making that up. “No one’s found a way to go home yet. It’s kinda random like that? Sometimes people arrive and they’re only here for a little while, and then other people are here for a really long time.” He supposed a year was starting to seem like a long time… He was okay with being here, among people with faces and kind words, even if he knew he needed to go back to save his friend and fix things.

It helped, of course, that someone had already told him when people went home it was to right when they left. Or… Maybe help wasn’t the right word, considering the situation he’d been plucked out of. “They kinda don’t really care about that, I think… But someone told me we all go back to right when we left? So I guess no one’s really missing stuff.”
