Hmm? If it eases you, Snake... I think I may know what goes on in the worlds we are from.

I've noticed people that are taken from the same world, don't always match time that the others from that world are taken.

So I don't think that your world went on without you. I think when the way home is discovered, you'll go right back so the same spot you were taken from.
