And now, after that life, you can make a different choice. But it's better that this choice be for yourself, not someone else. At least not for someone who wouldn't do the same for you.
The funny part of it is if I had died years ago, if I had found myself here, the choice to leave would have been a miracle - it would have been everything I prayed for all those years. I would never have found myself hesitating for even a moment.
Even somewhere that hurt or rejected them was still home. It's still where all of your good memories came from. Where you grew up. Where you fell in love.
You can miss the good parts of a bad thing while still being glad to escape it. Attachments aren't so binary that it's one or the other.
I missed Ferelden quite a bit when I was in Kirkwall. I find myself thinking about the Circle sometimes. And now that I am here, there are even memories of Kirkwall that do not seem so terrible in the light of reflection, even though it was a horrible place full of horrible people.

... What about all of you? Will you stay here?

Things, people, places. Any of it.
I'm not dead, so I'll be returning to my world for as long as I'm able.
