[if you happen to be lingering in the mess hall this evening, you may find yourself accosted by a young man with a permanent glare]

Hey, you. Have you ever seen somebody get out of this place?

Comments

[wetfortono]

Well. . . Sometimes.

[comesfirst]

Sometimes? What's that mean?

[wetfortono]

It was never by choice. I've seen some get letters of dismissal, and others simply disappeared and never returned.

[comesfirst]

Oh, well, yeah. I know about that too.

[wetfortono]

If you were inquiring about somebody succeeding to leave when they wanted to, I have never heard of anyone like it.

[comesfirst]

No . . . I've heard all about how that's not possible.

I just meant actually being there. Whenever they left.

[wetfortono]

. . . Oh! You mean literally. Yes, they... simply walked through the barrier.

[comesfirst]

Which part? To where? Out past the road?

[wetfortono]

Mm. It wasn't possible to see after a while.

[comesfirst]

Why not?
