Maybe it did. But being dead, that means this is where you're supposed to be unless another t, as much as you want them to be with you. So that makes you the contact point, not the world you came from.
We don't have any way of really knowing why people yet yanked where and when they do, or how many different times they do. I've been doing this for years across different universes and I still don't know anything more now than I did the first time. But I can tell you that if this is some kind of balance thing or jigsaw puzzle, whatever is behind it in whatever world you're in will keep trying to make it all fit together, over and over again.
So they could come back to you right here, even if it's not from the time and place they were from this time.
Sorry, that's all I've got when it comes to being reassuring about this stuff. The rest is just a lot of jaded stuff you don't need.
