This post is a shorter, as there's not as much to be done. 

I'm guessing that Darlene won't actually leave until a few posts later since she still needs to get back to the base and gather her stuff and all, but after that we can probably time skip the time they spend away from each other. Darlene will either come back after a few days more composed and at terms with what she has learned, or perhaps she'll go the other direction and break down more. Then maybe Duncan could find her, since she won't be going far. 

Not entirely sure what I'm going to have her do yet, but I'll decide by the time she leaves him.
