[ a nod, hand settling over their own chest as if in quiet promise. ]
I'm sure they would appreciate the thought of us visiting them. [ they can go! fortunately, the walk from the library to the park shouldn't take too long. though, they aren't in any rush to in the first place. taking the time to walk beside him. ]
[ they walk a little close to him, mostly out of sheer habit, as they listen.]
...I'm not sure. Admittedly, I never really gave the afterlife much thought until here. [ when they were erased, they just moved on to the next loop. it's strange to think that here it's just.. permanent? maybe. ]
It would be nice to think they are somewhere though.
Yeah. It would be. It's weird to think about them just not going anywhere after we've taken the time to try and get to know them, so it's like...a hope, I guess? That even if they aren't still around here somewhere that they were able to pass on somewhere safer and better for them. [ he keep shis hands in his pockets, emotions gently wavering to something thoughtful and melancholy. ]
I don't know. I've thought about it more than I should, probably. [ the afterlife. ]
I would like that for them. It's a nice thing to hope for. [ their words are said quietly, their emotions a distant sorrow. it's something to face anything so permanent as this. but, if they do continue to be around somewhere, even if out of reach, wouldn't that be ideal? ... ]
I think it's a valid thought for anyone to have. For me, it just became a matter of "onto the next loop." But here... anywhere, really, it's possible.
I've thought about asking the reapers for their opinion to hear it myself, but it feels too early and sudden to do it. Not while the game's still barely getting started. [ he thinks maybe they won't have a satisfactory answer, is what it is. ] Like...how do we know you wouldn't just go on to the next loop because that's what happens where you're from? How do we know I wouldn't just go somewhere else because that's what happens where I'm from? It's all a bunch of questions right now.
I agree it's probably too early to ask now. But... maybe later. [ they have the same thought, that they're more likely to be told things like "does that really matter right now." ]
So long as I have the silver key with me, my assumption has always been that even if I do get erased here I'll go back. [ which is why they can afford to be more worried about him, about the rest of the team. anyways, by now, they're entering the park with the sight of crosses coming into view. ] ..It would be nice to even have a little sign, right?
[ that they're okay, rather than just cease to exist. ]
Don't lose the key then. [ a light joke, and an easy dismissal of the reapers topic. instead, he's focused on the park and the little memorials ahead, humming in agreement. ]
I'm not even sure what sign it'd take for most of us to believe they were still somewhere else. Or at least know they were doing okay. It doesn't seem like it'd be as simple as rainbows across the sky or something.
Won't be a problem. [ unless, you know, maybe someone snatched it off their dead body or something i guess. ]
Hmmm.. maybe not. I think some kind of message would be good and straightforward enough. But it isn't as if we can just message them on our devices or anything. [ imagine. ] Hard to say what we could possibly look out for.
...Admittedly, I haven't tried to send any. [ IT'S SO STUPID IN THEORY AND YET... there's a bit of disbelief, but it's directed at themselves than anything ] I haven't looked either...

Where do you think they actually are now anyway? I mean...we don't know they went anywhere or whatever but...what's the afterlife after the afterlife?

Has anyone tried to send them messages since they were erased? I haven't even looked if they've been removed from our contacts.

But, later as you said. For now, let's focus on this. [ they can focus on their friends whom have been erased...
which we can also wrap this thread up hehe.... busy weekend coming up. ]
