Nick shrugged. "I haven't been back to my own world for over three years. I spent the first two on an island sort of like this hotel, but I was completely human there. Then I walked into what I thought was the island Compound, but ended up in the lobby of this place instead. I was back to who, and what, I used to be, but no closer to home."

The fact that he still wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad one didn't help.
