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.

[Keith was aware that there was that kind of chance after hearing that Allura had been here once before, but was gone now. He frowned a bit.]

Yuffie, huh?

[He thought about that.]

They say the portal brought us here because there was some 'desire' within us to not be where we were at home. Maybe it works like that in reverse? Maybe, if that feeling to be somewhere else is completely gone, and we really want to go back strongly enough, it just takes you back.

[They had talked about staying vs leaving. Keith remembered her saying something about possibly returning. Maybe that's what happened. She might not have been fully ready to leave, but she also might have just really wanted to go home.]

[ Bill appears wistful, obviously thinking about the Doctor having left without a goodbye. Even though she knows he turns out alright, even though she saw in the canister's memories that he survived the Master and Missy and the Cybermen... The pain of losing him is still there. ]

I'm sorry about Yuffie. She was sweet.

One friend told me before she left. Another left me a note and a job recommendation. Another person I knew left by surprise.

[ There's a bit of a pause. ]

There seems to be no pattern.

It was a bit rushed, but a friend did let us know before he left. I assume when it's open to the right place and time, you have to take it then and there, or stick around for god knows how long waiting for another chance.

And some people don't like drawn-out goodbyes.

[More like all this paranoid conspiracy theory stuff on the network gets old, even to a man who eats, sleeps, and breathes paranoia.]

My dad left me a note.
