Yeah... you make friends, and then one day, poof—[she makes a fist in the air and flicks open her fingers in a "poof" gesture]—one day they're gone. I've lost a lot of good friends like that... going to visit 'em, and nobody answers the door. Once you rule out them getting kidnapped by fae or something, it's like... yeah, the Queen sent 'em back.
[she turns to smile up at Sadie.]
But hey—that's good, though! It hurts losing people, but it's good that they get to go home.
