It seems weird to me to include the word 'y' when there's no actual 'there' specified. But the sentence would seem awkward without it. Do you need to always include 'y' even when you aren't specifying an actual destination?

We generally don't use aller without a destination, so we say y aller even when the destination was not previously specified. But you could say je dois partir.
I'd have expected a liason in dois y [dwa.zi] but neither robovoice makes it. Should they?
The female sounds like [dwa.ja.le] and the male more like [dwa.i.a.le] to my ear.
