[When he's not finding himself in other people's mindscapes (or getting trapped in his own), Turo is actually sticking closer to the group than he used to do. Maybe wandering the void has grown dull. Maybe some of what's going on is just getting to him. If you encounter him sitting idly in the void, he may ask:]
Why do you suppose the other groups all bonded more quickly?
[From the outside, the initial group had seemed fairly tight to him when he arrived! Turo's not sure he feels that bond himself beyond one or two people, but that too is probably natural. It's just...sort of surprising that all the other groups of random strangers managed to do better than this?
Other than that, he does still duck through the rings once or twice to train more with his Shard, with the aid of the rock-type Pokemon. He also spends time trying to coax Squirrel into slightly more normal squirrel behaviors! Like....tackling things? Turo might not know what squirrels usually do.]
ii. mindscape
[You find yourself in a strange yet beautiful landscape. It seems to be at the bottom of a canyon or crater; rock walls encircle the area, and you can't see the sky above past the strange twinkling fog cover. But the plants down here are healthy and vibrant, fed by the waterfalls cascading down from somewhere high above. The creatures are...not quite what most of you might expect. But for now, they're going about their business, ignoring you.
The path curves downwards, winding along the side of the crater walls. There is a faint Ruby energy in the air, but its owner seems absent.]
