We walked together for what felt like hours. I wanted to speak during this time, but something inside of me quelled this desire whenever it would rise within me. Fortunately, it appears as if father can read my mind in here, so he answered my question.
"Time does not pass while we are here, Tael. In the outside world, everything is still as it was at the moment when you and I made contact. Your friends are still clinging to me, I am still recovering, and you are still pinning me down."
I nodded along and looked around. We are not within an endless sea of darkness like we had been in the past, but instead we are now walking within a sea of white. Is this what is inside of that speck I touched earlier?
"That 'speck' you refer to is my core memory. Within that tiny bit of light lies those that I deem to be important memories. The things that I believe are the most important to me are within this light."
