G-8 Branch.
In the rugged mountains behind the base, Wilton appeared stark naked, his ass bare. This was the return location he had chosen before leaving.
He had prepared clothes in advance.
The Return skill had far too many drawbacks. Its cooldown was one day, it could only set a location beforehand in one direction, he could not move during the process, and it could not be interrupted.
