[Well, don't expect this woman's sympathy or anything. Although hearing someone say they don't want to go back... it's kind of depressing.]

You don't want to go back?
It might be convenient to stay here and forget about everything that's happened, but I don't think that choice should be made available to us. It feels like an excuse to run away.

Things on this island certainly do move at a more leisurely place. It's nice, but... I have responsibilities. I can't just abandon those forever, even if I wanted to.

[She pauses for a moment, then smiles slightly.]

But that's only my opinion. I'm sure anyone would get attached to this place and its people after being here for over a year.
