Question about villager returns

[Ami Mercury]

If a villager moves back to town, will they ever reference the fact that they used to live there, and had decided to move back?

 

[stardrop-crossing]

If you got the exact same villager that left, like if your friend holds them for you, then yes.
If it's a new copy of the same villager, I don't think so.
