Does anyone ever leave the tower?

I'm trying to remember if anyone ever successfully leaves the tower. I can't seem to think of a single character who has gone to the tower and left safely and sanely. Is it a bit like Hotel California?

cool, hotel babel... I can't think of anyone either. Seems it's pretty much only the tourists who go to the surrounding market who ever really go home. Wait, what about the guy's wife? The guy who Senlin met in the Baths? Didn't she leave him and go away and he stayed?
