Yeah, but the Veil ... it doesn't always work in a linear way.
[There's a pause as she tries to figure out the best way to word it.]
There are a few people here from my world, other than my brother. One person knew me, but I hadn't met him yet at home - like months ahead. And it couldn't have been me forgetting because of the Veil.
[Her reaction to the full moon pretty much guaranteed that she arrived exactly when she thought she did.]
Before I fell through the Veil I was kept in this vault for three months. It was made of a stone that scattered the moonlight so we couldn't feel it. The alpha who was doing it was treating it like ... starving the lions in a coliseum. Taking our tolerance and control away we would tear whatever was in front of us to shreds when we actually felt the moon again. I didn't feel the moon until I fell through the Veil.
But Stiles knew me from Beacon Hills, and I hadn't been back home before that.
[At least that she could remember. The past six years are still coming up empty, but she's fairly certain she didn't have a reason to go home before that.]
There's also a girl here who remembers letting us out of the vault, but no one had let me out yet before I got here.
If I had been let out of the vault and felt the moon, I wouldn't have had the bad shift in London and the knights wouldn't have found me. I wouldn't be here.
[She would have kept on hiding, just like she did before. Flying under the radar because that's what she did. She'd still be alone.]
[She glances back at him, before nodding in agreement.]
Yeah. That's all.
[She'll take another crack at him later, once she's done being less of a brat. But she's going to stick around the med tent - it's where she feels the most useful more often than not. See you later, Lan.]

Do you think they still could? People don't always arrive from the same time. Maybe they might show up here.

It's biology. Not my memory.
