[While he'd been gone, Onni couldn't remember this place. The minute he wakes up in that room again, with the video playing, and ignores it until he can take the decontamination shower, he remembers everything about this place, and is very aware that he hadn't remembered it at home. It's strange, thinking about how memories can appear and disappear from his mind like that, strange and unnerving.
After he takes his shower and dresses back into his things, he leaves the 'welcome area' and settles down in one of the grassy patches to try to get his bearings, to wind all of the new things he's remembering from this place into the memories from home. It takes a while, sorting his mind out, filtering through the things he's experienced here and applying them to himself as he is now - he remembers finding out about Ami being a troll, about making friends with Cho and then being so angry at her, remembers doing magic with Cole and then meeting and working with some of the other spirits here, learning to feed Anne the lamb and how to do some of the work at the farming area. He remembers everything that had happened when Lalli had a fever, how exhausted and wounded he'd been; remembers crying with Reynir on several occasions, remembers telling Lalli he loved him and losing his memory and being a kid in his mind, remembers being trapped in a bubble and kissing Reynir, remembers...his feelings for Reynir changing.
It takes a while to ruminate through all of it and digest it. After being alone for so long back home, or at least mostly alone, it's strange to be back in this place and to know that Reynir and Lalli and that cat and Anne are probably here somewhere. For a while, he's quiet, letting that feeling of longing and loneliness and isolation percolate inside of him before he feels ready to get up and go back home. The apartment he shares with Reynir and Lalli, here, in Anchor, covered in runes and occasionally messy and smelling of them and their food and the animals they've kept there. The only place he's really felt at home in for a long time. By the time he's standing up and moving, he's feeling shaky and eager and excited to see his people, the people he cares about.
A few minutes later and he's at the apartment door, takes a breath and opens the door, steps inside and locks it behind himself.]
Reynir? Lalli?
[His voice is a little hoarse from disuse, he's a little thinner, his hair is longer and still a little messy and damp from the decontamination showers, he still needs a shave, and he's carrying a bow and arrows he hadn't had before, but he's all in one piece and anxious to see everyone.]

It's Onni.
