Many people come here looking for a way back to their world and I cannot blame them. The idea of mysterious rifts controlling when we come and go... it's more than one can take. Should take, even.

But if it's not asking too much, I'd like to seek out a differing opinion:

If you had the choice to leave this place, would you stay instead? Why?

I've learned most people would choose not to bring risk to themselves if they were guaranteed asylum. Perhaps it could be considered selfish, but again, it is what they want and truly, I am no one to demand otherwise of them.

[A pause and then another message comes in:]

I have no unfinished business.

[Not quite true. Yes, there is the fact that almost all of Jil's people—her lover, her found family, unlikely friends and allies—are here, but there's one mystery that remains to be resolved back in Valisthea. She's just unsure if her soul can bear a potential conclusion of that one.]
