[HEY, WE'VE... we've all met people like that before, alas. (Probably.)]
I wasn't there for it, but it was the first one in a string of terrorist events that have been hitting almost all over the world. One of them hit my hometown a few years ago. It might be fine getting sent back to the world I came from as long as it wasn't back there. [...That hometown of hers, she means.] But I haven't been taken away from anything I would miss. If anything, being here just puts a lot of distance between me and hard memories.
