"Well, that's the thing. I've been here just under a year, but according to Danny's recollection, I wasn't ever missing long enough to accommodate that kind of time away." It bothered Steve that none of this really made sense and that not only didn't he not have answers, there was no place for him to find them either. "For the me he knew back home, this simply never happened."

It was frustrating and didn't make any sense. Did the Observers return him to the exact moment they took him after wiping his memory of these events only? Or was this all happening more like a dream and all in his head. Which made him wonder if it was happening at all. It felt real, but then so had his time in the simulation and that hadn't ended up being real after all. Whoever was doing this to them, was messing with them in ways Steve could only guess at, and he didn't like it one bit.

"That's putting it mildly."
