[ if this were a true missing persons case, the first 72 hours were the vital ones, right? but as a person who had been missing 3 months back home, and seems to make a habit out of getting kidnapped in general (oops) he won't be satisfied that mia has truly left until he's not seen her for sure with his own eyes. ]
Is she... safe, back home? I mean, hypothetically. If she were -- there.
