Since we've all been getting to know each other lately, I thought I would pose a question of my own. Have you put any thought into what you'll do once you leave here?
I haven't been here very long, myself, but already, this world is quite different from my own. As far as we know, things like "superheroes" are nonexistent where I'm from. Maybe someday, it will be possible to give people the kinds of abilities that many of us here have now, but even then, I can't imagine the organization I work for taking very well to it. Even if my current responsibilities would allow for it, it would be quite difficult to manage both, to say the least.
I suppose questioning whether or not I'd continue life as a superhero is a bit too whimsical, all things considered. Perhaps a better question would be this: Do you think your experiences here have changed you? How do you think it would impact your future?
The truth is, while I'm very intrigued by this opportunity, I'm not sure what to make of it as a whole. I'm more than happy to do good for the sake of good, yet at the moment, it still feels very much like a detour in life. [Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing, to be able to take a break from one's own reality. But as someone who rarely did things without purpose, it was a foreign concept.] Ultimately, I'm curious about how you think you'll look back on your time here.
I appreciate you taking the time to indulge a rookie's thoughts.

Completely understandable. It would be nice to still be able to see and help people, here or otherwise, I agree. My hands would be too full, but I wouldn't mind if the opportunity was there. I can't even begin to imagine everything that's out there.
[Maybe if things didn't work out back home, he could just go somewhere else. This world was already better off in a lot of ways compared to his own, for example. He wouldn't just abandon everything, but it's nice to have options.]
Even though we may not be here by choice, the work we're doing is important. But even so, it may not necessarily suit everyone. And I believe your own path is just as important.
