[ It happened overnight. The amnesia wore off and she woke up Sunday morning suddenly possessing months of knowledge of a man who'd shown her worlds and times Bill could never have imagined, prior to meeting him. She hadn't believed Cisco when he'd told her about this man called the Doctor who could travel through time, who was her friend. But now she remembers him, and more importantly, she remembers how she hasn't seen or heard from him in weeks.

When she goes to start recording, the camera comes on and she gets a view of how shattered she looks from crying, and quickly switches to audio only. ]

How... How do you know when someone's left? Gone home, I mean, or just... gone somewhere that's not here. Is there a list of names somewhere to check?

[ She pauses, hesitant, before adding, ] Do the ones who've left ever come back?

Um, you get a different error message if you try to contact someone whose not here anymore. It's... not in this reality and a number.

And they do come back sometimes! Sorta... maybe not exactly...

[ More to herself, ] So he is gone, then.

[ A deep breath. Then, outwardly, ] I guess that explains the error message I got when I tried to call him.

What do you mean, "not exactly?"

[threatenwithcuteness]

Um, some people come back, but it isn't exactly the same them that was here? They might be from a different point in time or... I dunno.

This is the sorta thing you wanna talk to someone smart about.

[ That gets a sad sort of laugh from Bill. ]

Problem is, my go-to smart person is the one who's gone.

[threatenwithcuteness]

Oh. Sorry.

But I just meant, someone smarter than me. Who actually really gets what 'alternate timelines' and 'paradox' means.

[tutee]

I understand. Thanks, anyway.
