Haha, "okay" is better than the alternative! I have heard from a few people that they prefer this place to where they were before, but that probably isn't the ideal, huh.
Well, it's supposed to be a vacation, isn't it? Maybe some people are able to look on the bright side and enjoy it while they have it!
[Not him, though. But nevertheless... He thinks back to the tiny, windowless room he was assigned here, to having to be emotionally vulnerable (read: have sex with either strangers or his ex), to the fact that he's one exorcist staring down the biggest case of spiriting away he's ever heard of with no resources and support, and...]
For example: I can catch up on sleep while I'm here? Haha. I've only just arrived recently, so maybe I just need more time to find the finer things about this place.
[She can't fathom someone simply enjoying their time here. She can understand it in an abstract way but she can't picture anyone actually acting on the idea and just kicking back. A vacation... a kidnapping vacation.]
There are some interesting things. The technology here is far beyond what exists in my own world.
I feel as though the lack of responsibilities is another downside. At least you can use this time to look after your health. Please try to eat well, too.
[Not that she knows anything about a lack of sleep or varied diet. She doesn't even know if it's possible to budget a healthy diet on what the monthly stipend or reward money paid out. She just gets her blood bags from the clinic. Still, humans had to be careful about such things.]
Ahh, are you new to these things as well? My agent has a PDA, but I've never used one myself, and this is much more advanced than hers anyway!
[Which does date him very firmly to a specific moment in history.]
Yes, yes, I've heard it all before! Three square meals a day, thirty minutes of physical activity three times a week, and... what is it, four hours of sleep a night? Something like that.

I'll do a truth as well.

[Even at her worst, she can't think that escaping to another world would fix anything.]
Hm. Is there anything here that you like better than your home?
