[The ache in Anders's voice is enough to wring his heart, knowing how much the man fears the Mist ghosting people away from him. It's hard to say it'll all work out, she'll come back and be fine, because he has no idea what the reality is behind it. The Tranquility thing, though, worries him. It's not the same as what Anders described in his world. Couldn't be. Similar, perhaps, but not it.

Yeah, of course I mean it. I don't make promises I can't keep.
[Pepper might disagree, but fffff. This is a slightly bigger thing than "I promise I won't wear high-tops to the charity ball."]
I... I don't know what to tell you about Isabela. If she's gone in the Mist, all we can do is wait for her to come back. I did. In the meantime, we keep looking. And the girl you "made" Tranquil?-- [he says, emphasizing the word] -- What people choose to do, you can't help. You can't hold yourself to blame for it.
I want this month to end, too. At least you're half in the bag. I oughta do the same...
