[OOM:
Janet can still see the door.]
Open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door...That was all that had been going through Janet's mind lately. She couldn't ignore it as much as she tried, still half wanting to hear Cassie's voice repeat those same words over and over.
She walks downstairs, stepping in time along with the words that wouldn't disappear, thinking about the door that wouldn't disappear either.
She stops abruptly at the foot of the stairs, looking across the bar, through the crowd of patrons.
Open the door...Without warning, the words stop and Janet is heading for the door.
This is pointless, there's nothing on the other side of it, she thinks. But Janet is curious, and if it will stop the dreams, she'll do it.
Janet faces the door, staring at it, her hand hovering over the handle. She closes her eyes for a moment, opens them, and turns the handle.
She doesn't know why she's not surprised to see an event horizon instead of a blank wall, but the familiar sight is comforting.
She also doesn't know where she'll end up and doesn't wonder
how there's an event horizon without a Stargate, but none of that matters.
The only thing on Janet's mind now is that her daughter is on the other side. "Cassie."
For the first time since her arrival, Janet is able to leave. She steps through.
