This is not Idaia's closet.
It's something weird.
That could be either a really good thing or a really bad thing.
She probably wasn't going to succeed at what she needed to succeed at anyway; worth the gamble.
She steps inside.
Idaia and Boots in Milliways
"Awww.

"Some people did go with, but not her and not their Rúmil and this was thirty thousand years ago and a lot's happened since then so right now it's just Fëanor and his kids and the one daughter-in-law and her sister."
"Thirty thousand years? Wow.

"There's Years of timing leeway as long as recent events didn't throw off the schedule somehow."
"No, they've mentioned they won't consider parole for three Ages of the world. But still, if it's important we should start laying the groundwork right away."
