"I guess when you've been in a place like this long enough, you learn to adapt." Contrary to appearances, he knows, Cameron is actually quite good at that. He can be stubborn as hell, a fact which he thinks will benefit him just as much here, but he's not so set in his ways that he doesn't see when changing them will be of more use to him. "If it really happens so often..." He shakes his head. It's a wonder anyone gets attached to anyone at all, when it would be so much safer to close off one's heart and simply go on until the inevitable moment of return, but that, he thinks, would be living only half a life, and he's not built to give so little to any effort he makes. "You'd have to, to survive it. Otherwise it's just breaking your heart all the time. But I don't know how they do it either."

It still feels very much like a case of us and them, people who've been here forever against himself and Jenny (as if the us versus them of himself and Zuckerberg weren't bad enough). He's not sure he'll ever work out a way to be a part of this, to live the way everyone else does. He's lost things before in his life, but not in such severe and, admittedly, terrifying ways as this place seems to present as normal.
