Do you feel like you're still learning? You seem to have made a place for yourself here. In some ways, moreso than you had back home.

[hearthebell]

I feel like someone who has stopped learning is dead. That's not true, here.

[worldcleansing]

It's true that I don't expect you to stagnate, but at this point, I'd expect you to be beyond what I can learn in books. If there's someone who would've found something outside of the boundaries, it's you.

[hearthebell]

Are you anxious to find a way home, Light?

[worldcleansing]

Not as much as I should be.

[ It's something he's noticed and found odd: mentally, he has every reason to need to rush back home. His role is too important for him to simply accept life here.

Emotionally, it's not there. ]

I noticed it once I had my body again. I feel oddly fine with being here. I assume it's a side effect of being here, but I haven't looked into it yet.

This is a widespread phenomenon. Not a stretch to consider its effect on motivation to unravel all of Trench's secrets.

Some of us are also dead, where we're from. What do you suppose that does for motivation?

[ 'You would know better than me.' ]

I wouldn't hurry back to my own death, but that isn't the case for me. I'd understand your desire to stay here, but I think we'd both agree it's odd that I'm not motivated to quickly find a way home.

[hearthebell]

There might be some circumstances in which I would think that.

Then again, perhaps you've had time to miss some relics of your youth.
