YO. I KNOW THERE'S ONE THING A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALLY WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE BECAUSE WE ALL GET IT: HOMESICKNESS. I KNOW EVERYONE IS MISSING THEIR HOME AND THEIR FRIENDS. I'D BE SURPRISED IF THERE'S PEOPLE HERE WHO AREN'T. NOT TO SAY IF YOU AREN'T THAT YOU'RE A WEIRDO, OF COURSE, I SUPPOSE YOU'RE JUST A BIT LUCKIER. NOW, I'M NOT GONNA ASK YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU MISS OR THE PLACES YOU MISS. THAT WON'T HELP, IT'LL PROBABLY JUST MAKE YOU FEEL EVEN WORSE. I AIN'T EVEN GONNA GIVE A BIG SPEECH ABOUT HOW WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND WE GOTTA TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT CRAP AIN'T GONNA HOLD UP. BACK HOME I HAD A LARGE TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO VARIED IN AGES. A LOT OF THEM GOT HOMESICK AND WHEN IT OVERWHELMED THEM THEY WENT ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL. THING IS, IT'S REAL EASY TO LET IT OVERWHELM YOU. MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU MISS. EVEN IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU THINK IS SILLY, LIKE THE TREE THAT WAS NEAR WHERE YOU LIVED, OR A CAFE THAT DID THE BEST VERSION OF A FLAT WHITE COFFEE YOU'VE EVER TASTED. ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT FROM EARTH. I GUARANTEE YOU THERE WILL BE SOMETHING HERE THAT IS SIMILAR ENOUGH IT'LL BE LIKE BEING AT HOME. EVEN IF IT'S JUST A GIANT ROCK THAT'S THE SAME SHAPE. NOT TO MENTION GETTING OUT AND GETTING FRESH AIR ALWAYS HELPS. DO STUFF YOU DID AT HOME. DON'T GET WRAPPED UP IN THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT THE SAME. YOU HAVE TO ADAPT TO HELP YOURSELF, THAT'S LIFE. BUT THAT THE SAME TIME... DON'T SINK INTO IT. DON'T THINK OF NOTHING BUT WHAT YOU MISS. IGNORING IT WON'T WORK, BUT NEITHER WILL DIVING INTO IT. FIND A BALANCE. DON'T LET IT OVERWHELM YOU.

THAT'S FUCKING WEIRD AND I HATE IT. I THOUGHT THIS WAS MEANT TO BE AN ACCIDENT BUT THAT MAKES IT SOUND LIKE IT ISN'T.

It has always been the consequence of the Porter, even when it was still controlled by the government. So it's not really an accident, it's something that always happened when using the machine.

GOT IT. HAVE YOU BEEN PORTED IN AND OUT?

Yes. Four times.

HOLY FUCK. I KNOW I TYPE IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME BUT. THAT WAS CAPS CAPS.

I have been here for a long time. I think the Porter likes me.

THAT'S THAT HAPPENED. TO YOU.

I'm not special. This has happened to a lot more people.

YEAH, WELL, RIGHT NOW YOU'RE THE ONE I'M TALKING TO. THAT'S SHITTY. I'M SORRY.

It's alright. I don't dislike this world. [ a lot of really traumatic shit have happened here, but so have in his world ]

The idea of being sent back and forth isn't always amazing, but I admit while I do want to return to my world, I also don't want to leave this one behind completely and I guess this is a way to make that happen. I will just make the most out of it.

[that makes archie think about his own attitude; he still isn't overly attached to this world or the people in it. if he left, he wouldn't be too upset.]

GOOD ATTITUDE. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY?

[ most likely because his world is actually really fucking awful and being here is some sort of pause on that whole bullshit that is kaneki's life

except he isn't going to say that ]

I've many people I care for here, and in a way I'm glad to return so I'll remember them again. After having this happening again and again, you get to realize things like that.

YEAH. I GUESS DESPITE EVERYTHING I'M STILL PRETTY IGNORANT.

There is always a lot to learn. I don't know everything either.

I ALSO GOTTA LEARN HOW TO STOP FEELING LIKE I SHOULD KNOW BETTER, I GUESS.
