Second Misfortune [Video]
[Touma was homesick. While he may have been here only a few months, he has been an unwilling traveler long before he arrived in Heropa. He has long since accepted the fact that he will never see his original world, but that didn't make the reality any less painful.
And yet, he couldn't help himself from desiring to see even a fragment of his home. Seeing others being reunited with their friends reminded him of what he lost and a small part of him selfishly wished that someone from his world would turn up. It definitely seemed possible.
Perhaps the Network can provide him with something more concrete?]
I've been pondering some things. How many people have peers from their world here? Since arriving here a little over two months ago, I've noticed something strange about the people being dragged here; some of them are familiar with each other and those already here. Given how the Porter has an infinite amount of worlds to chose from and its random nature when concerning its victims, just what are the chances of it pulling in people from the same world? How about the same timeline. Location? Social circle? Not only that, but to repeat it multiple times? There is no way this is a coincidence.
Not only that, but it's very possible that there are people who belong to the same world and have no idea that they do. If the Porter can gather people who coincidentally happen to know each other, I don't think this is too improbable. Of course, it would be incredibly difficult to prove without a doubt due to all the factors that could muddle the connection and the fact we only have anecdotal evidence to go by. Time can greatly shift a world even within a few years. Location can influence your perspective on your surroundings in a world. Just those two factors alone can make it outright impossible to tell.
So, what does everybody think of all this? These thoughts have been rattling around in my brain for awhile now and I just wanted to share it with you guys.

Power Girl's seated atop a roof, perched on the edge that overlooks the town. Not that that view can be seen. It's just her face and the sky behind her. ]
For the first part, I'm wondering if it's something due to the Porter. Maybe a kind of residue or radiation that the Porter traces back to our home universes. I've always found it odd, but it's difficult to pin whether it's random or intentional after all.

That's the problem. It's too coincidental to be truly random and yet some of the people that end up here couldn't have been brought in intentionally. Not everybody being pulled in are certified superheroes.
Another possibility is that it truly is random, but the range of worlds it can pull people from is finite. Some worlds could be easier to reach and thus more likely to get selected.
