I have a theory that Ana was put in a similar circumstance as Regina, where her actions as the Red Queen continually came to bite her in the butt and ruin her happiness (unlike Regina, she never had her true love die, but other really bad stuff like other people she cares about dying or something), and decided that the best thing she could do was leave to the Land of Untold Stories while Will was still alive, so that her story could pause with her only remembering her happiness with Will. Not only does it bring Ana back with the other Untold folk, but there could be an interesting parallel between Ana and Regina because they both tried to stop the repercussions of their past lives and ended up hurting someone close to them because of it (Will and Zelena, respectively).
