"I don't know," Sabriel admits, "We all come from... very different places. And we haven't been able to learn much about what's happening at home- any of our homes. Or even how we might return, save for completing our end of the pact, and reuniting all the orbs."

"I am sorry," Sabriel says, and she means it. Sabriel wasn't taken in the midst of some deadly conflict, but this man apparently was. But all she could do now was deal with the problem in front of her, which meant making sure her new crewmate got medical treatment.
