I'm in the labs today, so I can at least say I'm not in my office. Which is... something? A datapoint.
I'm... feeling. I'm a little disoriented, still. I'm tracking time meticulously though I realize it's a coping mechanism. I hate so much that I thought I was only gone for two years, but it was closer to six. Dr. Pope and I have had some extensive talks. Both emotional and informational. I've promised to stop keeping her in the dark. It's all progress.

"Ziggy's world has some pretty neat technology ours doesn't." Minoru whispered.
The tradeoff, which he didn't say aloud, seemed to be social progress. Pretty much all of the debates about civil rights had been settled when the twins' parents were still children.
"Don't wealthy people do eccentric things in your world?" Dominic had heard that Minoru had won lots of money. Wasn't he wealthy then? And all the wealthy people on the tour were seriously eccentric in one way or another. Dominic didn't have the social understanding yet to understand the nuances in his own world, let alone two others.
"I find myself missing technology a lot." Dominic had been deep in the highest level of tech the Ministry possessed. He found moments of frustration. Over not having those sometimes.
