I dunno. The inside of fall's dorm looks pretty different than ours, and what I've heard about winter's is even different from that. So I don't think I'd discount it yet either.
The same thing I've done so far. Keep an eye on what I can, talk to the rest of you, and see if there's-- well, anything at all that we can figure out.
[-at least after tomorrow there'll be more chill, here.]
We've studied the planar system, in my world. There isn't only one component to it-- we live on what is known as the Prime Material Plane, but there are thirteen in total, from the Astral Plane of the dead to the Elemental Planes. Any given world is an entire system, but while you can travel between the planes, it is... difficult, at best, to leave a world in its entirety and travel to another system. Under most circumstances, it's impossible.
If you're able to meet those-- particular circumstances, there's no telling where you might end up on the other side.
["Why is everything always about balance..." this is always a lowkey question even if he does, actually, understand why. for the most part. so instead he's busy trying to understand the planar system.]
Does it take a lot to keep it balanced? Or is it kind of self-sufficient that way outside of extreme cases?
It's self-sufficient, yes, unless it's disrupted-- but if it is, the consequences are usually... well, rough. Interfering with them can eliminate life on the Material Plane.
[so interfering means the plane can be destroyed.]
...that other world and our world were linked together, so we had to do a lot to keep it balanced, too, otherwise both worlds would be destroyed. So I get it.
It doesn't surprise me there are other places like that, but they're just different enough.
Enough so that I think yours must not be a part of our reality. Either way, it's--- good to know that ours isn't the only one where these things are possible.
I knew that other worlds were out there, but I didn't think about the possibility of meeting people who could travel to them, too. Even back home it's only a few specific people who can go to that other world.
I haven't met everybody here, but maybe there are others, too.
[he shrugs and doesn't clarify what he's shrugging to.]
Our group's been separated before. Even if time isn't slowed down or stopped for whatever reason, the others will take care of each other until we can get back. But I don't mind that he's here.
[neither of them should be, but he does like it more than he'll let on. yamato's one of the few of their group he trusts to be in a situation like this and not be at a disadvantage.]
I hope none of us have to miss much. I'm pretty sure everybody's in a situation where they couldn't exactly afford to leave right now. [a pause...] But yeah. I can't say I'm not glad about that too.

Can you tell me a little more about your experience? It does sound different than ours.

[it's the kind of thing she wouldn't blame people for keeping to themselves, but... worth checking out.]

Three, actually. One of my friends is here, too.
no subject
[it's not the first time she's heard friends mentioned, so-- some of them had more luck in that sense.]
I'm sure it's not ideal for both of you to be pulled away, but-- hopefully it'll be good for the two of you not to be here alone.

But if this goes well, the two of you shouldn't have to miss much.
