Give or take a month, sure. It's just as crap as it sounds.

[schachmeister]

[Good lord, and Armin thought Jean had been trapped here for a long time. Four years is just... it is hard for him to fathom. Of course, it doesn't help that being only sixteen, four years is literally a fourth of his life.]

I'm sorry. That must have been rough.

[beatupgrass]

Rough is not the word I'd use.

[Though 100% accurate.] I prefer to use the term "irritating."

[schachmeister]

I hope you won't take this the wrong way but I'm glad to have found someone who isn't content with being here even after such a long time. Perhaps it is just the people I've been speaking to, but it feels like the longer they are in this place, the less concerned they are with getting out.

[Armin doesn't trust this place so it is suspicious to him. He wouldn't put it beyond this crazy world to suppress their desire to leave or something.]

[beatupgrass]

You're speaking my language. Every time somebody acts like they belong here now, my eye starts twitching. They're a bunch of idiots.

[schachmeister]

I wouldn't put it like that exactly...

Rather, I wonder if this place might be doing something to the people here. If it can affect and take memories, it might also be able to suppress someone's desire to return home. Maybe that is why so many people grow comfortable here.

[Which. Ugh. He can't stand the thought of anything messing with his thoughts or feelings.]

Of course, I might be completely wrong. It's just a thought I had.

[beatupgrass]

[He makes a frustrated noise.] No, I'd buy that, but since some of us are still resisting, you'd have to be pretty damn idiotic to fall into that trap. Maybe it starts with the ones that don't have anything better back where they came from.
