Saw talk about us getting sent back to where we came from.
[...Not that she doesn't understand why, 'cause, well... hey. Everyone's life got kind of interrupted by being pulled here, right? Plenty of folks probably left a shitload behind. But... pff, well. This is more just. Biting the bullet and getting her own thoughts out 'cause she can.]
I got reminded of where I came from by what happened with the plants. What it reminded me of got a lot worse, though. I don't know how much of a universal constant this is, but I was 3 or 4 when the Raccoon City incident happened on Earth. Plus I've been trying to move on from some things a long time.
I wonder how alone I am saying I wouldn't shed a tear if I couldn't go back.
[...Well, that's some... kinda presumptive phrasing, there, Zoe...?
...But, well. Suffice to say...
...She's just tryin'a speak her head, out there. Just type it out, and collapse onto her forearm as she watches text just... tick across the screen...!]

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.

Surely there's more than one location to live.
So even in being sent back you could just find somewhere else to go.

The tricky part about that is that I would have been killed if I just walked off. I was being tracked.

Plenty of other people who came too close where I was living tried to leave, too. Not a one of them survived.
[Meanwhile... pff, let's be real, she's -- thinking. Ethan weren't gonna make it far past that pier, either.
You gotta love the spitefully-pulsing and taste of bitter-sour grapes.]
