It's a bit complicated--my mother was here, along with an old family friend of ours, and others from their world, when I got here. Father showed up later, then vanished, then showed up again with no memory of being here before and from a different point in time from his prior time, and then both he and my Mother vanished.

And no, I agree with you--but we also don't have enough information to fully draw that conclusion. For now the most likely reason is that they've vanished rather than were purposefully sent away because they got to close. We need to keep it all in mind, but not assume causality without more proof.

Believe me when I say I understand your urgency and worry. I'm very used to being the only one left who can fight or help people, and then being unable to do so.
