I've been wondering, Scorched.
[ Arthur has been training since before the sun rose: it's visible in the flush across the bridge of his nose, the way his blond bangs are sticking dark to his temples, the slouch of his usually straight-backed posture. But he needs a break, a distraction from his own mind, from the questions that have been plaguing it without concrete answer. ]
Say that the Door started — temporarily — working the way that all doors should, and we could all trip merrily back to our own worlds.
[ A breath, considering whether he's really going to ask. Despite his slightly laconic tone, he knows how depressing some of the answers he'll get will be. But he still wants to know: ]
Would you stay here in Anatole?
Or would you go home?

Not just for me. I mean, it probably is for everyone. You know, factors.

After all, in this theoretical scenario, your sister could go home with you.
[voice]
She's my factor.
Take her away and maybe I would go. Maybe.
I miss people. A lot. But right now I remember them, and I know that most of them are probably okay. And that there's a chance of seeing them again - here. Any one of them could show up. It's completely possible.
If I went home I might not remember. Riza. Spence. Priscilla. Al. Anyone.
