The door did reappear for Fives not long after he first arrived in Bar, and he was relieved to find out that it did take him back to the same time, and no one had noticed him missing at all.
Of course, what they've noticed now is his weird habits in the following days of trying to get the door to open when he's with one of his comrades.
"Cutup, wait!" he says, pushing forward and opening the door to the sleeping quarters with his hand on his brother's arm.
Cutup waits, but when the door opens to the sleeping quarters he gives Fives a very firm side-eye.
"Fives," this is Echo, coming up behind both of them and slipping an arm around Fives' shoulders. "Brother, are you okay?"
Fives shakes his head, realises that he's been acting like a complete idiot, and grins.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
He's aware of both Echo and Cutup looking at him.
"What's going on?"
And now Hevy comes strolling up, taking in the scene.
"Are we asking Fives if he's crazy?"
Cutup nods, seriously. "You ever heard of a clone to crack from boredom?"
"No," Fives says hurriedly, raising his hands. "It's nothing like that, I swear."
Droidbait clears his throat from where he's sitting on his bunk, watching this play out. "You have been acting odd, Fives. You keep - trying to open doors."
Fives rolls his eyes so hard he ends up looking at Droidbait, who shrugs helplessly, and gestures to their fellow batchers. They all know something's going on.
"Do we need to talk to Sergeant O'Niner?" Cutup says, and thank the Galaxy that Fives knows him better than to be fooled by his ridiculously good straight face, because his brother has talent
"Alright," Fives says eventually, putting his hands up. "I'm not cracking, brothers." He turns into the quarters, Echo's arm still around him, Cutup and Hevy following, and the door shutting behind them.
Except - how do you explain this?
"We don't think you're cracking," Echo says, with a glance at Cutup. "We're designed not to, we know that. So what is it?"
Fives looks around himself - Echo, Cutup, Droidbait, Hevy: Domino Squad. Not just his brothers but his batchers, they've been through everything together.
And it kills him he can't bring them to this.
"Alright," he relents slowly. "But Cutup, if you make one joke about me losing it I'm throwing you to the Clankers."
