Leave? It's nothing like that Sayu, I was with... [He trails off and clears his throat. His tone suddenly becomes very matter of fact. Knowing Sayu's overactive imagination, she would fill in the gap herself.] Look, it's irrelevant.

[He sighs. This time the sentiment is entirely genuine.]

I know that we can leave, but I don't know when. The Author has written people out of this place before, but I haven't been able to identify any patterns of disappearances. I will find a way home though, just try to be patient.
