[Han's information about what he last remembered from home sort of answered an unconfirmed suspicion in Zhao's mind about how the timeline shenanigans worked here. He'd heard the rumors that came from Viv-chan herself but this sort of sunk it in as real, ya know. He didn't think much more about that but instead took it slow for Han to get his mind around this place.]

Something like that.

It's the way the orbs grab people. It's not always the same for everyone, and time doesn't really matter to them. We're sorta...outside of normal time, and especially not on the same timeline as the one back home.

The orbs thrive on chaos. The more confusing the timeline shenanigans, the more likely they enjoy it. [He shrugged in a 'what can you do' sort of way.]
