I think that was, maybe, the most haphazard experiment I've been here during. I can't even make a speculation at what the purpose of it was aside from confuse us all.

But I suppose I did meet quite a few people, so perhaps inadvertently its purpose was to remind me of that time when I thought life was much simpler. [That time when she thought no one would ever hurt her, and everything in life was new and beautiful.] And I suppose it gave me my hair back. It's as long as it was before I cut it, now. It's nice, I suppose, but does anyone here give haircuts...?

How are you feeling? I only grazed you with the lamp, didn't I...? [UNSURE TONE IS UNSURE...]

Yes, though those cases are extremely rare. But even those kept only for a few days can be impossible to recognize upon their return.

[That, he's seen too often.]

[voice]

[tearmeanewone]

I haven't seen that, not yet. [But from the sound of her voice, she doesn't want to see that.] Though someone I know was recently brought back to their world, and then returned here after only a few hours. Is that common?

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Some people do return home and come back extremely quickly, but that often take days rather than hours. You were extremely lucky to see them again so soon.

[voice]

[tearmeanewone]

Yes, I knew that much. I knew I was lucky to see him again, period.

[voice]

[paladinlost]

And he was quite lucky to have someone who was so glad to see him back. I hope he was not too disoriented upon his return?

[Elizabeth really would like to tell this person the truth, put some of her own confusion and concern on someone else for just a little bit, but Gai had his image and it was a personal story. A complicated story.]

He was, but I suppose anyone would be, right?

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Almost certainly. From what I've heard from friends and family members that left and returned, we forget about Luceti the moment we leave. Suddenly reobtaining all those memories would be more than slightly confusing to most people.
