Jen Tseng wasn't exactly sure what weirdness had seemingly made the world forget about Port Leiry, but it hadn't stopped her trying to set up the one-way trip since she'd grabbed her cousin's interest with stories of home. Eventually, things just... worked. It hadn't been cheaper or faster, or even safer than traveling across the ocean in a giant flying pillbox, but it had felt like much more of an adventure - and despite the agony at customs, it still beat airport crowds.

Jen smiles at her cousin as they take their first steps into what officially counts as Port Leiry. It feels a little strange, but even though she's only just beginning to learn more fully the ins and outs of a new form of magical expression, she feels better here than she'd thought she might; like she's unburdened by the judgements of a family that, at the end of the day, was only barely hers.
