They enter.
That simple, no dramatics, no fanfare, just tired faces. Faith's body is covered in streaks of brown-red, the result of trying to clean off blood without time or water to do it properly, and the rest don't look much better. Dirt, sweat, blood--in some cases their own, in some others', because you can get things cleaned up, bandaged, but the long showers that get it clean in the end, that takes time. There's the scent of violence, smoke, gunpowder, ash, tears, anger, all around them, and they are tired, and dirty, but they're alive, and not hurting too badly.
They enter: Ace, Faith, Kitty, Susannah, Zoe, and the door closes behind them.

"Yeah, I knew that."

Eddie glances down at Susannah. "I guess you saw him last, hon. In linear time, I mean."

"He was still strong, and he was still true. And he was only a few days from the Tower then. He was going to make it."

"Well, that's... good, right?" she says, slowly. "For him, at least."
Even Lilly, who didn't know Roland for very long, knows about Roland and the Tower.

"But, I, uh, I don't think we'll be seeing him again." He squeezes his eyes shut.

Lilly doesn't say anything. Roland's finally figured out a way to make her shut up. Too bad he had to leave to do it, because he'd probably really enjoy this.
She still doesn't say anything, but after a moment, Lilly reaches out and squeezes Eddie's hand.
