How do you stay here?

There should be a weight you can wear so the Rift can't take you away.

Are there people that never leave ever?

Well, I've been here over a year now. I'd say that's a long time for a Wanderer.

But, I'm not sure on making sure someone never leaves.

[ohshiny_tomatos]

Is there something science-y we can do to make it happen?

[i_robert_capa]

Nothing is impossible.

And at this moment, I don't know - but that's just something scientists like me tend to say if we're not sure about something.

But we can always try and see. Not knowing doesn't mean I won't try.

[ohshiny_tomatos]

I think you can do anything, Capa. And I think you should make something for this, because sometimes people don't want to leave. Sometimes I think this is better.

I haven't left yet, and I'm nearly on year four.

Unfortunately, you cannot guarantee that for everyone. More people have left in my time than have stayed. It doesn't mean that will happen to you or that it happens to most, but there's nothing that keeps anyone here.

I'm sorry.

Are you happy here?

[smithnjones]

Now, I am.

Not as happy as I've been in the past, but after awhile of losing constantly, you lose some ability to be quite as happy as you once were.

I've been my happiest here, but I've also been at my absolute lowest point here.

I haven't had very many things to lose. Now I have a lot I think. I don't like thinking about it.

Why? Don't you have friends here?

[willnotbemine]

I fell through almost seven years ago and I'm still here.

I wish there was a guarantee too, though. I really do.

[ohshiny_tomatos]

If I find one I'll share it with you.

[willnotbemine]

I have no doubt you will, Parker. You're awesome like that.

I want to stay with you, Lena. I don't want to go.
