[OOC: OMG I'M SO SORRY THIS IS SO LATE. My notif got lost. :(]
Abby listened closely, feeling her heart break at Orihime's words. She really hated seeing people so sad. "I'm so sorry to hear that. But at least they did find you. It goes to show you have good friends." She smiled gently, setting a hand on Orihime's shoulder comfortingly. From the sound of it, the girl definitely had good friends. Abby knew how priceless having friends like that was.
"I know it may not seem like it, but from everything I've heard about being here, time in your own world or wherever you came from stops. Sort of like when you pause a DVD. And then whenever you go back home, it resumes wherever it was you left off. I know it sounds absolutely crazy and I'm not completely convinced that's what actually happens, but people who've been here a lot longer than I have have said that. And in a way, it does make sense if you think about it." She paused for breath. "Sorry, I tend to babble sometimes. But I hope that makes sense?"
