Hmm... my head's starting to hurt too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Think of it this way:Your friend goes into the astral plane in year 10. He spends 15 years there, and you enter in year 25.  The two of you have tea and crumpets or whatever. He leaves, and *poof*, he's back in year 10. you leave, and *poof*, you're back in year 25.If he enters the astral again, he's still entering in year 10, and if you enter the astral again, you're still entering 15 years later than he is.  So he still has to wait another 15 years there for you.Keep in mind that this friend from the past has also spent 30 years of his life waiting around for you in the Astral. He percieves it as real-time, although the Astral doesn't - but the Prime punishes him for "cheating time" by aging him when he returns. I wouldn't expect the guy to be too mentally stable the second time you meet up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />How's that sound? Did I miss anything?</blockquote>
