[Too bad Gokudera has no idea to avoid that line of conversation.]

The last world I was on, I saw someone. We spent time together, and they were gone. When they came back, they said their previous stay had felt like a dream. I don't think any of what is happening now, [He gestures around, as though the present time were visible and all around him.] or what I have experiences in other worlds will change time the same back home.

I think, whenever I go back home, this will all be a dream, or I won't remember any of it. Time in Namimori is standing still, I think.

[Gokudera takes a deeper pull from his drink and it's mostly gone. He's thinking back on heavy thoughts. Time for some liquid courage because remembering it all means reliving it, if only for a moment.]
