This is all going to make no sense when I go home. I wonder how many people just end up staying here.

Quite a few of the people I've met do seem to have been here more than a couple of years.

Years?! No one has sent out search parties from back home?

Maybe they visit home and explain why they're staying?

Wouldn't that bring more people here? What if they're...about to meet their end? This would be a way for them to live.

Would that be so bad?

What about their lives back home? I can't exactly bring my house or husband or friends here.

Why can't you?

I think the housing commission would notice a whole house missing, Henry.

I meant your family.

Joe, a friend of mine who's a cop, but notice when my whole family has since disappeared.

Couldn't you tell him?

And have Joe lie?

Lie to who? People move all the time.

Our friends, Henry's colleagues?

You have six months to figure things out.

Yeah, I heard. How am I supposed to go back home with the knowledge that I am going to...?

By changing it.

Changing it? It..

[She sighs]

That might be a little difficult.
