The text spelt out in Please Come Back, throws the viewer/reader into an implied narrative of past conflict and sudden departure from some place, the details of which can’t be properly fleshed out from the ten words of information supplied.

A message most easily imagined or understood as part of a private communication here becomes a public plea, producing a host of confusions to its status and significance.
