So how long does someone have to be missing from the City before you start wondering if they're not coming back?

I don't want to jump the gun and move out on my roommate, but the ticking's kind of a pain, you know?

I guess you can start wondering right away. When you hit a few months, though, I think it's time to move on.

If you want to use one of the beds at the Welcome Center, that's totally okay. You know, if you don't want to assume your roomie's gone. There's always someone around, so the ticking's not bad.

From everything he's said coming and going isn't exactly unusual for him, but it's been a while so I'm starting to wonder if he'll be back again.

I'll keep it in mind, Penny.

Really? I didn't know anyone came and went that often.

Thanks. Going crazy from the ticking isn't allowed.

I don't know about often, but he's been here a long while. From everything I've heard...

I don't appreciate the City's attempts to keep people from living alone, but I do appreciate having options. Really.

Well... maybe he'll come back. You never know. It's no use waiting too long, though.

It's kind of inconsiderate, isn't it? But the City isn't considerate about too many things.

I'm not giving up entirely, but it seems like a good idea to have a backup plan, you know?

[horrible_penny]

And a backup plan for that backup plan. You can't be too prepared.

Good advice.
