[ Even though he's been in Wonderland for nearly two months at this point, this is the first time Will has made a post on the network, and only about the fourth time he's used his device at all. He's not a terrifically outgoing person, and it's easy for him to assume that people are probably better off without his input in most cases.

However, the network is clearly a good way to get answers and information, and ever since his conversation with Bedelia... He's been thinking a lot about "home". Been wondering if there are any people here in similar circumstances. It's been on his mind enough that eventually, he settles on simply straight-up asking people, if only to shut the train of thought down and put an end to the curiosity. And, perhaps, put himself a bit at ease. If that's even a possibility.

The question isn't posed through video, or even audio. This is more easily handled through text. And, it...makes the whole thing slightly less awkward, which doesn't hurt. ]

Is anyone out there uncertain about whether or not you'd like to go home?

Do you feel as though Wonderland may be the lesser of two evils? That you may be better off here than where you've come from?

[ Come and discuss any doubts you have about wanting to return to your world, Wonderland. Maybe you'll make him feel better about the disaster he'll be walking back into if and when he ever goes home. ]

[ Jane's thought about this question a lot. More than she wants to admit out loud. At home it feels like nothing can ever be figured out, like Kurt and the team will hate her, loathe her, want to lock her away and throw away the key.

But here. Here, she and Kurt have worked through things, they've figured it all out, and if she goes back now, they're back to zero. If she goes back, she may never get to clear her name. ]

I know I shouldn't want to stay here. I should go home, we all should, probably.
but here I'm with people who still care about me.

Is that not the case where you've come from?

[ It's true, none of them should want to stay here, but as Will is learning, so many people have so many different reasons for believing that Wonderland may be the better choice.

For himself, after learning some of his not-so-distant future, it feels as though Wonderland may just be the safer place for him to stay. ]

No. I don't really know what's going to happen to me at home.
Here, I was at least able to explain to someone what happened. At home he'll never give me that chance.

[ She already knows he won't. He had her on her knees, a gun to her head, and she doesn't know what Kurt's going to do with her from there. She'll certainly be taken and locked away, the team will know she was there when Mayfair died. Her life won't ever be the same. She's going to lose everyone. ]

how long have you been here?

You know that for a fact?

[ There's always the possibility of things working out differently than one might expect, but he has no way of knowing if this is simply pessimism on her part or actual knowledge. Either way, he can absolutely understand her preference to stay here, but if it's fact... he can relate more strongly. Even if he hasn't got all of the details of his future, he has enough to know that it's bad. ]

I've been here for almost two months at this point.

I'm about 90% sure.
Someone died because of me. I killed someone else about two hours before showing up here. I found out I was working for a group trying to take down the government and didn't know it.

[ That's where she's coming from. ]

I've only been here a little longer than you have.

[ Oh. That's unexpected and it takes him a moment to process it after reading it, but ultimately, he can empathize with it. ]

I'm sorry that's something you've had to deal with. It's hard to learn that you've been manipulated, and harder when you've killed because of it.
Just being away from that mess must be a relief.

[ That's how he feels about his own mess. ]

It is. And being here is a nice reprieve, but then
things happen here and I don't know if it really is better. I mean, people die here. More often than I think people die at home.

True, but you can also make the argument that the deaths aren't as permanent here as they are everywhere else. That doesn't make the number of deaths any less important but I suppose it may lighten the impact of them for some.

It's also possible that people die as often in other realities or worlds, but we're more aware of deaths here as the population is so small.

So, are you pro-Wonderland or just playing Devil's advocate?
