Serendipitous Arrival + Translocational Reacts

After a dude makes a Serendipitous Arrival, if a React causes them to change locations, do they automatically leave the shootout?

Shootout: Play a dude from your hand into your posse, reducing their cost by 5. When the shootout ends, pay 3 ghost rock or discard that dude.

Two such examples include F1 Burch and Stagecoach Office:

React: After F1 Burch enters play, move him to the in-town location of one of your other dudes. You may attach a non-Unique, non-Gadget goods from your hand or discard pile to one of your dudes at that location, reducing its cost by 1.

Controller React, Boot: When you bring a non-token dude into play, place that dude at any location you control.

I ask because I know there is precedent for participating in a shootout but being in a different (albeit adjacent) location, using Angélica Espinosa with or without her Buffalo Rifle:

Shootout: Angélica joins a posse at an adjacent location without moving or booting.

If this dude is adjacent to the location of a shootout or a job’s mark, they can join a posse, without moving or booting, even if booted.

In short, if a dude arrives “into your posse” but changes locations without being “sent home booted”, is it fight or flight?

Seen and under review by RT (ensuring consistency with previous rulings)

Consistent with the Eli ruling, these dudes joining the posse, and then leaving, remove them from the shootout.
