No idea, no one really knows. Popular theory seems to be that the world is broken somehow and needs fixing, so it pulls people here trying to do so. Apparently the last cycle that it brought people here, they all got to go home again thanks to one of the powers here, but it's not something we can just pull off.

I've been here for thirteen and a half of this world's days, which are two weeks long from dawn to dusk. So around 37 weeks. I don't mind meeting if you want to, the garden would be the best place. It has its own power that keeps the Lord and his servants out.
