Mournfully decline

?I?m sorry,? you muster. ?I don?t belong here. I have a family and too many friends back home. I can go back home?can?t I??

As soon as the words escape your lips, a black portal opens in the back of the room. A tiny white light is in the center, just like the one back home. Before you can move, however, one of the rebels makes a run for it and dives at the hole.

Clunk! He passed right through it and hit his head on the wall! Roland intervenes. ?Bennedict, you should be ashamed! We will talk later.?

?As for you,? he turns. ?You are the only one who can pass through this gate. We are sad that you must go, but we are glad to know that even without your help, the Jewish people will still prosper. If not now, then centuries later. Goodbye, Gabriella.? He extends his hand towards the portal, giving permission for you to leave.

?Umm?bye everyone,? you say lamely, creeping towards the portal. Standing next to it, it looks even more beautiful than you remember.
