( she admits. the time in Perdition's Rest threw off her count. being in Oska, then there, and now back in Oska? )
It was spring when we'd moved. Then here, it's been fall, and winter. I don't know how many months it is by now... I'm not really sure what calendar we're supposed to look at. Time's been really weird.
( because she's also been told that the time here means nothing, in a sense. that one day, they will be able to send them home, and to the time they were last seen. so what is it? what is this time passing? what are the memories and experiences, lovely and horrible both, going to mean in the end? it's complicated. she sets all that to the side, for now. )
Dad got lost when we were trying to get to our new house. I was going to start school in a new town, and I wasn't happy about it, not really. Then we were at the abandoned theme park... Dad said a lot of them went under when the bubble burst in the 90's.
( she's reciting this without fully understanding the economics she's discussing as if they're somehow disconnected from her reality. in ways, that's exactly what they are: disconnected. )
He and my Mom couldn't keep themselves from eating. There was all this food there, and no one around, and — and that's when things started going weird. I didn't remember that stuff until I'd been here for a while, you know?
this bonding is all cute okay
