...

Thank you for your sympathy. It's not like I told anyone except Yves. Even if they didn't believe my story, they didn't think I was possessed.

[Man.]

Did you get what you wanted?

Well, I'm dead. So I wouldn't say so.

[Hands him a bunny to pet.]

Sorry.

Thanks.

[ Pets this bunny... The only thing keeping his mental health together. ]

I was also a little surprised that they jumped straight to killing me, for the record.

[Save us, emotional support animals. Save us.]

They really didn't ask you anymore questions?

No, Uruha did ask why I did it. But he essentially said that he didn't plan to let me live, regardless of my answer.

...

I don't know much about justice, but... I don't know if that's "right".

I don't know either. But, I don't really have the right to talk about justice after what I did to Zhongli.

But emotions don't have to abide by justice, so I can be angry and frustrated all I want, I think.

That's fair.

[Petting the kitty that's walked itself over.]

It's probably better to let yourself feel than trying to ignore it forever.

The same goes for you, you know.

...

It's not like I want Yves to join us over here. What he did was necessary.

...

But I hate that it was.

That's the right reaction, isn't it?

You shouldn't want harm to come to you.

The survival instinct is strong that way.

This is way more death than I was expecting in death.

I'm sure we all feel that way. [ He sighs, rubbing at the little bunny. ] Hopefully we'll find more answers sooner rather than later.

Knowing what's going on is a big part of trying to solve the issue at hand.

Have you talked to the angels on this side?

Just Kiraman so far, what about you?

Him and Lailah so far.

Have you learned anything helpful?

I don't know how much of this you already knew.

Apparently the angels here were setting things up for seven months. The current God has a predecessor who retired and went on vacation...? It seems like nobody can get in contact with the previous God.

Kiraman mentioned that to me too.

I was hoping he'd have some action items for us.

I think he's over the technology?

Did he have anything specific he needed help with?

I don't really know that they have much of anything that they need from us.

Except that Charlie mentioned that they ask us for tasks on occasion?

Huh... I guess they meant it when they said to focus on healing.

[Pets.]

Do you know what kind of tasks they're asking for?

[ Shakes his head. ]

No, I don't. Just that it helps Kiraman with the barrier keeping us from everyone else.

I haven't been able to figure out if they've been receiving strange messages on this side either, as a result of those Thursday trips.

I wonder if people here will start going on those field trips too. But if those messages are from the unknown entity, then maybe they can't send messages to us here?
