[in the beginning, sizhui wasn't too excited about being torn away from his family, but as time went on, he found that he started enjoying visiting these new worlds and making new friends. sure, he misses his family a whole lot, but he knows that eventually he'll make it back to them and it will be like no time has passed at all. (or so he assumes because he imagines that once he does get home, it will be like he never left in the first place, although he hopes that he remembers his adventures.)

and yes, they really are, no one can tell him otherwise.

I am, too. From what I've gathered, it depends on how we are affected when our suits are “active,” which is different for everyone. I've never seen symbols like the clubs or spades, either. When I think of a spade, I think of a shovel, though. Maybe it's where the symbol came from? [if that's the case, however, what in the world would a shovel have to do with card suits?]

Yes, you will be spending a lot of time questioning things and you won't get far. However, it's good to ask questions, too. We need to figure out what they plan on doing with us, after all, so I see no reason why we shouldn't learn as much as possible about this place.
