Soft confirmed: the stalker from a few years back is responsible for her moving to another goddamn hemisphere. So congrats, moron.
Also, guess we also got confirmation she's not a secret millionaire. Getting a nice payout from your job would definitely provide enough cushion to travel around and eat like a queen for a year, especially if your house was already paid off. Doesn't rule out rich boyfriends or sugar daddies but still, it's plausible enough to say she was independent.
