There are those here who have nothing to return to in their true realities, either because they've appeared here after their death, or because their world was in ruins. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they're more likely to see this as a place of opportunity rather than a prison.
But for those of us who have unfinished business, or people we care about waiting for us, or simply a life that we enjoyed living freely...
To be taken from that, stripped of our abilities and forced to live in a reality that we didn't choose for the price of a wish - it certainly sounds like being taken prisoner, doesn't it?
[ He may not know the exact details of his future, but he knows enough to know what a bitter irony this is. ]
That's a fair perspective. I should not forget how lucky I am to have the friends that I have.
[ And then there are those like Akechi Goro, who may not have anything to return to. It's an unsettling and deeply confusing thought for her to dwell on. ]
I don't wish to be a puppet again, but... I think I am still not sure what to do next here. Maybe focus on regaining my power somehow?
You're still new, and things are calm right now. Just focus on getting settled in and making connections. The people here truly are incredible. Regaining your power will come easily if you do that.
For whatever it's worth, Okumura-san... despite the circumstances, I'm grateful that you're here.
I'm grateful you're here, too. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with! I'd like to think I am a decent enough cook and offer meals as well.
