I know, but the way it worked in Hadriel was that 'home' was where you go if you disappear in the random way that people did. That's probably the case here too, and the only way to avoid that is to know how coming and going works and how to control it.
[So for people who have nothing to go back to, or know what fate awaits them when they return, the need to solve the mystery is much greater than for people who'll simply go back to a life they want to return to if or when they disappear.]
That's very likely, that people are in survival mode, but we can't get out of that by being so lost and only able to react to what happens. Being able to do something about our situation helps.

Right now I think the first step is to try to understand what we do know about the situation we're in. It seems like lots of different individuals know things that they don't realize others aren't aware of, and so there's just a bunch of people holding different puzzle pieces that they don't know to share; if we can centralize information somewhere, then we can all at least be on same page in order to try to move forward.

God, is this the kind of shit you analyze all the time? It's stressful.

What do you want to do about our situation?

[It sounds like a horrific (and slightly boring) amount of work, though.]
Is that what you're gonna do? Centralize everything?
