Rey, it doesn't explain why they show up in their bed when they come back with their memories. Marcos is an exception to the rule. You know that as well as I do.
But Connor came back when some other people from his world showed up. We had a lot to cover.
I will say that Connor was always ahead of Markus. He mentioned that to me. And that the new arrivals apparently knew a different version of him. A more ruthless version. There didn't seem to be a discrepancy there between Connor and Markus, however.
None of that suggests that Connor went home when he vanished. So as long as there's a chance that they're here somewhere, we should be looking for them. We can't just give up on them.
[ like morningstar was ready to, on its captured agents. clarke didn't see what it was like there. she can't really blame clarke, then, for not getting why rey is so serious about it. ]
But we don't need to agree on that to agree on stopping by Markus' place to try and find the information Ball left him with.
[Clarke thinks of all the times Thor came back. Thor.
It's hard to think of him being captured all those times and deposited back without reason.
It's hard to cling to that hope for Bellamy, Murphy, Markus, and Prompto. Especially when some of them are better gone, better in their homes, devoted to their people.]

I still think breaking and entering is the better plan. I bet Loki would help.
[Okay, she hadn't been very precise about how she intended to sleuth, but that's really it.]
We have to get in before Markus loses his place. You know, to not paying rent.

You know where he lived?

[ so she hadn't gone. ]
But I could probably help you get in.

And maybe take some of Markus' stuff and store it away in case he comes back.

[ if there's anything worth salvaging, though rey assumes there is. there usually is. ]
We'll find him. We'll find all of the people who've been lost. It'll just take time.
[ after all, they'd found the morningstar agents. she still has hope for finn and poe and ciri and keith and fitz and peggy too. ]

[Clarke prefers her interpretation: that, in truth, they've gone home and are getting on with their lives.
She just hopes that never happens to her. Is that hypocritical? Perhaps when it comes to these people, who she knows wanted to return.]

Even Poe, after he was gone for months, showed up again. No memories. Same with Marcos.
They're here. They're in the control of whoever had us in the first place. It's the simplest answer that explains the most things.

Someone could be leaving them in their beds.

I disappeared and returned six years older. With the scars to match.

I'd say the people who are still missing have more in common with Poe and Marcos than they do with you.

Only Poe and Marcos disappeared for that much time and came back.
And neither was at home.
[ in fact, poe had ... fewer memories, somehow. this will only complicate her argument, so she doesn't share it :) ]

[Clarke hadn't been able to touch base with him to see if anything changed.]

[ she hadn't heard of that but granted she didn't know connor well. she's at least slowing down for a second. ]
And his memories?

But you're right. Let's go there.
