ive been told that in places like this
its not uncommon for people to disappear suddenly
sent home by the same mysterious force that brought us here to begin with
but i was wondering
if someone does disappear
is there any way to be sure thats what happened
as opposed to them being lost in the basement
or the wilderness
or dead

on a related note
has anybody seen ben hargreeves

[He frowns, stares at a random screen across the room while he tries to work out a reply to that. It was a little more complicated than one might think.]

I... I know that from the point of view of everyone back home that survived that I was dead for five years, but I can't say for sure if... if I was there floating around in some afterlife or something. The only memories I have are of dying and then waking up whole again, nothing of the actual being dead part. So-- so it's possible that I could have just been brought back directly from here. I really have no way of knowing for sure.

[ Ami frowns, considering that. Normally you get sent back to the same time you left, right? Or is that just anecdotal? There's no rhyme or reason to the time periods people arrive from, so why would there be on the return trip?

It sparks a tiny glimmer of hope, at least. On this detail, maybe some uncertainty is a good thing. ]

Okay. I hope that's it.

[ She walks in and joins Peter by the screens, following his eyes without any real idea what she's looking at. There's even a hint of cheer restored to her voice as she adds- ]

Either way, I'm glad you got to skip being a ghost. It sucks pretty hard, would not recommend!

[Peter isn't sure if the uncertainty makes him feel better, but it seems to have worked for Ami. That's always a plus.]

I feel like it would be interesting to experience for a little while? But yeah, I'm not too upset about skipping the ghost thing.

[As for the screens, he's still sifting through old footage, trying to pinpoint the general time frame that Ben might have vanished from. There's a lot of footage, it might take a bit.]
