YEAH, SOMETIMES THE TELEPORTERS JUST EAT PEOPLE.
THEY USE ONE AND DON'T REAPPEAR FOR A PERIGREE OR TWO.
KANAYA VANISHED, REAPPEARED WITH NONE OF HER MEMORIES HERE, VANISHED, AND REAPPEARED AGAIN BUT WITH HER MEMORIES INTACT.

WHEN I SAY "BREATHE" YOU KNOW THAT TRANSLATES TO "CALM YOUR TITS, PYROPE EVEN IF YOU AREN'T OUTWARDLY FREAKING OUT, I HAVE A FEELING IT'S HAPPENING INWARDLY AND FREAKING OUT ISN'T GOING TO HELP ANYONE."
