[ Julia doesn't know what causes the change at first, from seeming open to closed, but River clues her in with referencing the inside as the problem. Being kept? Well, it's possible being in a house that isn't your own might feel like a trap. This whole place is like that. She's come to grips with being there for now, but she's not like some of the others who have accepted it entirely. ]

I'm sorry, I can't send either of us home. I would if I could.

[ Where she needs to be. Where she was supposed to be. Julia was taken away right at a time when she needed to stay the most, and now she's here. She's made connections and come to grips, but she thinks about her home every day. She thinks about Q and Kady. She's going to live hundreds of years and it better not be here.

But none of that matters. River is distraught and this is new to her and that's more important right now. The now over the later. ]

Maybe a barn? It's more open space and the animals are sometimes in there?
