...You've said that once or twice before now. You've never told me what you mean by it.

People can be brought back to life. Or they pay a price to escape death. I'm sure other worlds have examples like that, too. Akihiko mentioned he knew of someone who was revived.

[i've done romantic stabs twice i refuse to be called a coward!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway he is strangely pensive at that. His eyes flick between hers a moment, expression drawn even, then he ducks his head away.]

Guess it follows that could happen somewhere.

Shadowheart told me most people don't have access to their old bags of tricks though, so. Don't know how much that could do for our girl Charlie. Or how much it applies to our being here.

[ cowardice!!!!

her expression is even, as calm as ever. ]

It's special for my world, too, but I know it isn't impossible. It may not apply here, but... that's why everything's been so odd. Why would this happen after they've told us we all have a second chance at life?

Exactly. There shouldn't be the option to die at all. What if you'd choked on a chicken bone at the burger shack on day one? [Another voice, this time low and ancient. Faux godly.] Tough luck, son, but redemption is for people who chew their food.

And that message. They had some kind of procedure. Protocol. Whether that was for a death specifically, or just in case of injury, or some kind of other emergency, I don't know. But they knew something could go wrong.

There's always a chance for something to go wrong, isn't there? It's not like you can control everyone or everything.

It's better that something could go wrong than nothing at all.
