The way things work here, people are supposed to leave by choice. Has anyone been contacted by a friend, before they left? I’ve heard some theories that when we leave we don’t get a chance to say goodbye, once the portal points the right way either you go or you miss it.

A few of us have talked about leaving a message in advance, so if the opportunity comes and we have to take it without warning people here have something left behind. Some people used to do that where I was before… has anyone here done anything like that? It seems worth it.

Even if we don’t want to leave, I’m not entirely convinced everyone that’s gone left here by choice.

[A pause. There’s no emotion when he speaks, if anything there’s a distinct lack of emotion, expression carefully neutral with the last part.]

Yuffie’s gone. For anyone that knew her and isn’t aware yet.

That is one lesson these places teach again and again.
No matter how long you stay in one.

Is that all they taught you? I think you learned good things too.

[alchemyfreak]

Of course not.

Purg's biggest lesson was cooperating as a team. It's something a lot of us there needed to learn... but it's hardly the only thing.

[They both had a lot of lessons, and even Riverview had things to teach anew, especially about technology. Recalling them all on the spot might not be so easy, but more importantly what Jon considered a 'good thing' and what Ed did weren't likely to be the same.]

Getting to learn a lot of new things and grow is pretty amazing too.
