When Gust is cast on a Recruit unit token to return it to hand, does it go to the player's hand or does it cease to exist?

Ruling: The Recruit unit token is returned to hand, then immediately ceases to exist because tokens cease to exist when put into any non-board zone (hand is a non-board zone).

Nuances:

• This effectively removes the token but does not count as "dying" in the game action sense, so it would not trigger "when unit dies" abilities
