A and B have ended up in past, but maybe sure yet, although they have seen
people that look like the younger versions of people they know. We pick back
up with them with A saying this and B responding.

> A: B。 やっぱりここって過去の世界？
>
> B: うう……そう思うしかないのかも……

What's confusing for me is the entire やっぱりここって construction. って is most
obvious the quoting bit. With ここ I guess it's saying that here/now is the
past. A is wondering if they really are in the past. What does やっぱり then do?
This is my current tentative translation.

> A: B. You still think we are in the past?
>
> B: Ughh…we might have no other choice but to assume that…

question
translation particle-って
やっぱりここって construction, meaning
やっぱり in this kind of context can be understood "I guess it's really true".

A: I guess we're really in the past?

b: mm .. it seems like there's no other explanation

In this case, You are in the past. At first, you cannot understand what
happened. You try to understand and consider the situation. Then, you suspect
"Here is the past world!?", but you also may say "It can't be..." You still
doubt. However, you find things which make you believe the situation and you
will say "やっぱり we're really in the past!?" B doesn't want to believe it, but B
also does not have any other thought.

We use やっぱり when we want to show we already knew or guessed that before. We
did know or guess that, but most of us tend to not say clearly if we were not
sure. Guess but not speak. If we became sure or someone says the same
thought/guess, we say やっぱり to show we already guessed the same thing. I think
this is kind of japanese culuture..
