Seth is sitting at the bar, sipping at a coke and singing Gracie by Ben Folds under his breath. He had a decent night of sleep, and now he's wide awake and bored. Feel free to initiate a conversation.

"Hey Seth," Jaina says, walking over to get a refill of her hot chocolate, books in hand. "Are we going to try out that door tonight?"

"Oh, hey Jaina," he said, giving her a small, nervous, smile. "I suppose it's worth a shot, right?"

Jaina nods. "Anything typically is."

Seth stared down into his coke, trying to muster his courage. "You'd think opening a door would be easy."

"It's not," Jaina says softly, turning briefly to the bar to get a new hot chocolate. When it appears, she takes a sip and glances at the door. "Force, I haven't tried it since I found out I was Bound. Fear's natural."

"Well...I guess it's time to give it a try." Climbing down from his stool, Seth ran a hand through his curly hair before starting tenatively across the floor, staring at his feet. Deep breaths, Cohen. It's just a door. Open it, step through it, and go home to Summer. I mean, you can see it, so that counts for something, right?

Jaina nods, following him over to the entrance. She sends a small glare in the door's direction. Stanging reminder.

Placing a comforting hand on Seth's shoulder, she smiles at him. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Taking one last deep breath, Seth reached out and took the doorknob in his hand, turning it slowly. Pulling, he let the door swing open, raising his eyes from the floor to look in.

What he saw, was the exact same room they were standing in.

"Do you see your home?" Jaina asks, her eyes not quite meeting the door anymore.

"No," Seth said quietly, letting go of the doorknob and taking a step back. "I don't."

Jaina winces and places her hand back on his shoulder. "Seth, I'm sorry."

Seth didn't say anything, he just moved in the direction of a sofa, sitting down hard. "I'm...this...I can't go home?"

Jaina follows, taking a seat on the sofa next to him. "Not right now," she says softly. "Someday though. People don't stay Bound forever."

I hope.

*Polexia sees the guy and wanders over.*

You ~~got any pot~~ okay?

"Do I look ago," Seth asked, still slumped down in the sofa.

You look sad.

Seth nodded vaguely. "Because I am. I just found out that I can't go home."

*Polexia nods back*

I know what that's like. Did you walk through the door end up back in here? That's how I found out.

"I just opened it and looked out. I saw...the same exact room I was standing in," Seth said, shrugging unhappily. "I just wanted to go home to Summer, and good music, and my pool."
