Mono at least realized he would have to get used to people being a little more formal and talking about stuff that he didn’t quite understand. And… wasn’t it kind of lucky to have to do that at all? When otherwise he wouldn’t have the chance to even learn about some of the complicated things people here knew or spoke of. The child just needed to... pay closer attention, maybe. Try to learn and understand a little harder. “Then you don’t got a lot of experience either, right? It’s just kinda different.” The boy had to wonder about her friends, though, and why they might not have talked as much as they should have. “Why didn’t you talk to them as much? Did ya have to be quiet a lot, or did you get separated?”

Shaking his head at the question, Mono wasn’t entirely sure of the answer to this either. “I dunno? They kinda just say the world ended or there was a… Clamity thing?” Calamity. “Like I think they don’t remember what really happened, just that something bad happened.” Which, he at least realized, was very unhelpful to the people trying to figure stuff out. “But… I kinda get it. Sometimes remembering bad stuff that happened is hard?” Sometimes he had a hard time remembering if something bad that happened in his world went one way, or another… He wasn’t sure if it was because he didn’t want to remember, or if he just got confused when he had to move so quickly to get past the bad things.
