Ibi answers 'where?', not 'where to?' or 'where from?'. Latin keeps those three questions apart: ibi is place-where, eo is place-to-which, and inde is place-from-which, with ubi, quo and unde as the matching question words. Ibi often pairs with ubi across a sentence, ubi ... ibi, 'where ... there'. In narrative it can also slide into time and mean 'at that point'.
