Since Hiro doesn't seem to need anything, Diarmuid takes a moment to crawl up into a nearby chair before responding to the other boy's words, "It's okay. I know it is a lot to take in. Take your time and don't rush yourself. You will eventually start getting used to it. Almost everyone is really nice and willing to help new arrivals."

The boy pauses a moment to count on his fingers before tilting his head, "I have been here over a cycle now...way over a cycle! It will be two cycles when June is here again! I don't know if there are a lot of patterns. Sometimes something will seem like a pattern and then it will stop. New arrivals come every month! I know that hasn't changed since I came here. And...we know a little bit about how people are brought here, but not a lot. It's...complex..."

Almost too much so for a kid his age to follow sometimes.
