My inmate has made notable progress recently, but still has difficulty understanding certain basics of interacting with his culture. This I'm not sure that I can help him with because while I've gained some knowledge from ports and breaches, it's not a lifetime of familiarity and certainly not enough to help him with the basics of interaction. I grew up in an entirely different environment [a surprisingly healthy one] with different standards of interaction, more confrontational. There's a cultural divide that I can't help him with.

So I need help from someone from the early 21st century to assist him. His has minor differences to the ones that we've encountered, like a class divide with technological capabilities, stronger military authority, and different popular figures, but otherwise on basic interaction it would be the same.

I would like Ben's room changed to a hotel room appropriate to his universe, era, and geographical location if he should return.

Also, a sleeping bag should he decide he would like to entertain company again. [He knows Ben would probably sleep on the floor before sharing a bed with someone, otherwise he would have asked for a queen sized bed.]

[A flicker of silence, then he just turns it off because that is the most awkward conversation either of them could possibly have.]

How is Dr. Kozak?

They are comforting. They make the world less confusing. [This off-handed, casual, as he considers the room again, studying the popcorn ceiling as opposed to the exposed beams that had been there before. He's seen other rooms that look like this. He saw remnants of things like this during his time outside of Manticore, but not this nice.

He remembers the Overlook, certainly, but it had been different. Smelled different. He's still talking to the ceiling when he speaks again.

Not that it mattered before, of course.
