[ Hmm... Aventurine snaps out of it after a moment, though the uncertainty remains. ]

It's a complicated story. The short version of it is that... I died?

[mygod]

[ nods

like this is a normal thing to hear ]

Will you be able to become alive again? Should you survive all this.

[tactic]

[ It takes a few seconds, but when he finally responds, the uncertainty fades away with each word. ]

... I don't know. But... I hope so.

[mygod]

[ well. ]

Then see it through. It’d be a shame if you died.

[ no person should be this confident about a situation they know nothing about ]

[tactic]

[ speak your truth famine ]

Haha... Think so? We barely know each other, but it feels good to hear that from you.

[mygod]

Good. It should. Once people leave my responsibility, I rarely concern myself with whether they live or die.

[ thanks famine. but they pause, crossing their arms and looking over aventurine as if in evaluation ]

However... I find your continued existence to be more worthwhile than some ghost.

[ a grin, teasing ] Once you stop flirting, anyway.

[tactic]

[ They've bonded... somehow...

Aventurine returns the grin, also just as teasing. ]

Stop making it so easy and I might consider it.

[mygod]

I will endeavor to make it as difficult for you as possible.

[tactic]

I'm looking forward to it.

[ we can end it here... he died and there was nothing to look forward to ]
