[ But then his expression sobers and he almost deflates a little. ]

...You really thought I did it, didn't you?

[uhhhmagic]

I shoulda just lied right now, huh?

[But that would have felt worse, actually. To lie to his face. He likes him? He seems like a good person.]

I-- Not really? That's the worst part. I just couldn't think of any other options, and the other person who I thought, maybe. Well. I couldn't. And so I thought, fuck, if he did do it, I don't think anyone here is doing anything without a good reason. No one's an actual monster.

Um. I'm sorry though. I know that means like, fuck all. But I really am.

[frostythehitman]

It's fine. It had to be somebody, right? I mean, I wish we'd actually gotten the murderer, but we didn't exactly have much in the way of clues that narrowed down our suspect list.

[uhhhmagic]

. . . Is it fine? I mean, I'd be pissed! I think you're even more entitled than the other guy to give us a speech about how we all suck ass.

[frostythehitman]

[ He barks out in sharp laughter. ]

I could be, but what would be the point? I'm gonna be trapped behind a barrier until I bite it. I can't fight back against anyone--and even if I could, I wouldn't know who!

Plus, I'll let you in on a little secret--I was dead before showing up here anyway. So it's not like this is gonna change much for me in the long run.

[uhhhmagic]

. . . Yeah, well, I've died a bunch too, and no one's ever been able to keep me stuck on the Astral Plane for very long.

[sighing out--]

Um. I heard there's a way we can bring people back though.

[frostythehitman]

...yeah? How's that work?
