Not quite, actually. Which actually reminds me of something I forgot among the rest, because holy shit this place is complicated if the obvious failed to reach you. If we die here, it's only because something else causes it unrelated to things like doomed timelines. And if you die, you come back five days later and more-or-less healed. It always happens, like clockwork, and I have seen more than enough examples to prove it.

But, if you do go back to your own universe, things continue like nothing happened. You don't remember Vatheon at all. No one says you were 'gone' or 'missing' or anything like that unless it was because of something else in your universe itself. You don't automatically die unless it was scheduled in the main timeline, so to speak. But even people who've died can come here - it's a lot like a second chance. Hell, not even like, it is one for a fair chunk of people. Even if they weren't dead, necessarily, but had shitty lives back home. It's not perfect by a long shot, and that's why a lot of us are trying to find some way to take control from the scientists, but there's plenty of us who would actually stay here given the choice.

[The fondness that has entered his voice is telling. He glances over at her, then back up, towards the dome covering the city.]

If you discount about five days when I was absent, and went back to go through a few more hours of shit on that meteor, I've been living here for almost two years by the human calendar. Nearly a sweep. I'm not the first one from our universe who showed up here, but I am the one who's been around longest.
