[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

They started bringing people in from other worlds, when there was no one left from their own. They'd promise someone a wish - anything they could want - and in return, they'd give up their memories and come to Sabra to play in the games.

"I do this willingly".

... And her escape route didn't work?

What escape route?

[it takes her a minute to respond, taking a deep breath.]

You remember what I said before, about restoring people's worlds?

. . .

Ah. It might've, but . . . when Clockmaker died, it messed with time, too. There's two timelines that I know of that point. Maybe more.

[Shakes head.]

It's not that. We've been told that... When our worlds are restored, we can change things. We can change whatever we want, under the restriction that our changes can't contradict our memories. So we can't change anything we remember, but... Bluebird had the idea of adding an escape route. She wanted to save everyone in Sabra, so she said she would add an escape route in some place she had never checked, then go to find it... or something like that.

Ah . . . it may work, but I don't know how . . . it would affect anything, really. If at all.

It's a way out, for Sabrans to escape to my world. But if you never found it...

. . . [he shrugs, taking off his glasses and cleaning them off on his shirt as an excuse not to look at her]

I don't know what to tell you. We never found it, but that doesn't mean someone else didn't.
