Although she'd had reservations about wishing Barbie could come to Wonderland, knowing that he isn't going home just to die has assuaged them. It means he's okay, that she made the right choice. Maybe it means they have a future together, whatever that might mean to the Dome. It said it was going to protect them, and so far, it had.

The Red Queen claimed the same, though, and Julia hadn't believed her. Yet, here was Barbie. The part of her life she tried to force down, to try to lodge into the back of her mind because it was too painful to think about. A memory that, maybe, she would have been willing to give up just to ease the pain of the wound it left. Just having him here was enough for her to wonder if, maybe, she had misjudged the situation completely.

"I'm still going through the archives, but there's plenty of theories. One of the main ones seems to be that Wonderland is it's own world, and our worlds - all the places where people here come from - are dragged towards it. The overlap dumps people here or causes the events. I don't know if I buy it, though. I don't think anything about this place is random." Her hand tightens around his. After all, if it was random, what are the chances of Barbie ending up there? "From what I've been able to put together, though, we're definitely this place's power source. Our memories are, anyway, but maybe our lives, too."
