The space restored after a few seconds and there was no trace of Wyba or the other three on the other side.
However, Yale had synchronized his memories with his incarnation, so he knew that they had just tried to open a passageway as a test and that they didn't expect to be able to cross it.
As for the fact that appeared to be in the perfect place in the perfect moment, it wasn't something that his incarnation had planned at all. Strictly speaking, it should have been a random position, and the time would have been relying on how the time in both universes fluctuated.
Thus, that could have been considered a miracle if it wasn't because Yale had learned of the existence of Alter Yale and guessed that he did something to interfere to save Wyba.
After all, although Yale didn't know too much Alter Yale, both were the same person from different times, so Yale was sure that he would have done anything in his power to save Wyba.
