No one really seems to be aging, to be honest. I think the coral might keep us in some kind of stasis or time flux or something. After all, we wouldn't be horribly useful to it if we died, and if it intends to send us back like it's done others, it wouldn't make sense if we popped back all old and wrinkled when we supposedly weren't gone at all, right?

[He may have actually given this some thought on his own.]
