Despite the recent outbursts of players in the community shouting "Fufu, take me with you," there weren't actually many players who genuinely expected Bai Fu would suddenly return.
Even the optimistically famed Champagne Faction players thought so when analyzing the situation in online posts.
The reason was simple.
"Previously, Fufu said to return safely to Ancestral Origin Star, she needed a spaceship that could withstand the impact of warped space, and such spaceships were expensive. Even with Fufu's strong earnings, it would take about a year or two."
"Also, if you were the plot planner, would you have Fufu return early, or precisely between version 1.5 and 2.0 to act as the guide leading us into Star Sea?"
This analysis was logical and well-founded. Once posted, it garnered affirmation from a broad range of players, even receiving a like from Digging Girl.
Digging Girl was a renowned expert on Bai Fu. If even she approved of the analysis, what more could other players say?
