"Trying to fit the memories in after so many months here has been... interesting. It at least gave me some perspective on matters back home. I 'left' in a better place with regards to my teammates, so I suppose that's comforting."

Though it's odd, after so long apart. So many months of memories here. But it is warm here. It's secure. Nothing can hurt him here. "There's just so much I've experienced here. Things I've learned, connections I've forged... I'm really not the person I was all those months ago."

That's the funny thing about time and experience.
