So - what does everyone think about this door? The possibility of going home, which in some cases would be finally? [A long pause, after which follows a sad laugh.] I don't know what to feel of it.

[Silence stretches for so long it might as well be eternal. Cricket sounds and all. And then, with a brighter tone,]

Now, visitors. The ones of you I know - if you can't find a moment to come say hello, I will be more than cross. And - this is a lot to ask, as usual - Jamie, if you're there...

...yeah.

[ You know, Scott has fourth-walled his way into this place before. He doesn't remember being here to stay, though, so mostly he's wondering what's going on here. ]

You don't want to go home? Cause, I'm kind of thinking that's exactly my plan.

[She also happens to have met more than one of his - persons? He visited more than once? She knows him, man.]

Don't get me wrong, I haven't been back in years. But when you're stuck in a place like this for so long, you make friends. In the end the choice is similar - being in one place means risking losing someone.

voice

[wolfteen]

Yeah, but, there's only one place that's home.

You don't have family waiting for you?

[ Basically he wants to find Stiles and literally drag him out of here. If that's wrong then he doesn't want to be right ]

voice

[brobeforehos]

What happens if you don't feel like you're at home at home? I have family waiting, but technically they don't even know I'm gone - in truth, I'm the only one waiting. Not them.

voice

[wolfteen]

I guess, if it was me, I'd miss my mom too much. And all the friends I left behind, even if I had friends here too. I mean, the people you know here…they have somewhere else to go too, right?

voice

[brobeforehos]

So what you're implying is - I'm selfish, if I consider the possibility that I'll miss some of them like missing a limb.

voice

[wolfteen]

No, of course not. You're going to miss people, if they meant something to you.

I just don't think that should keep you from the world you're supposed to be in, or…from the family and friends you have waiting for you there. I don't think it's about being selfish.

voice

[brobeforehos]

You haven't been here. I don't mean to cut you off - trust me, I think about this often enough to know it's more complicated in practice than in theory.

Mae?

[ She's kind of unsure what's happening here. Of course being on the opposite side of visitor's weekend is seriously weird and that might be bleeding into her. ]

Hi. [ Hawkward. ]

voice

[wolfteen]

So you don't want to go back at all?

[brobeforehos]

[Covering her mouth right now tho.]

voice

[brobeforehos]

I do! But I don't want to not see the people I know from here ever again.

voice

[wolfteen]

Maybe it won't be the last time.

I mean, I've been here before. It always sends me home after like, a day. Maybe there'll be other days like that, for you and your friends.

voice

[brobeforehos]

Sorry if I've lost my cheery optimism regarding that after three years here.

[cupio]

Um.

[ Oh no maybe she should go and hide somewhere. Who's still here? She doesn't know. She can't find Jace. ]

Sorry. [ Rubbing the back of her neck. ] I didn't mean to leave? And if you're mad I can totally just go.

[brobeforehos]

[No, don't you dare-]

Where are you - where are you now?

voice

[wolfteen]

You can always hope for something better. You never know what's going to happen.

voice

[brobeforehos]

...that's so sweet.

Voice

[wolfteen]

It's true.

[ Mae don't get cynical with him, okay. ]

Seriously, I mean we're talking about a place that literally steals people right out of their lives. It's not exactly predictable, you know?

Voice

[brobeforehos]

[SHE MEANS IT, IT'S SWEET.]

The only thing predictable about it is how unpredictable it is, ironically.

Voice

[wolfteen]

So then, how do you know that the end is really the end?

Voice

[brobeforehos]

I don't - it just feels like it.

Voice

[wolfteen]

Maybe you're wrong.

[ A smile. ]

I mean that in the nicest way. I have some friends here, I'd like to take them home. But, that doesn't mean I want to take them away from their friends here. Not forever.

voice

[brobeforehos]

[Can't see that smile in voice option you big sappy babby.]

Yeah, I know you do.

voice

[wolfteen]

[ Slightest note of confusion. ]

You do?
