A return node
is one of the kinds of gate found on planets in the Medium. Unlike the seven gates above the Hero's home which lead to important locations in the planet's quest, the return node does the opposite, returning the Hero as its name suggests from somewhere on the planet back to their house.
Though they retain a gate's usual spirograph shape, a return node can be distinguished from other gates by its specific shape.
