[ she shrugs back and then just does not elaborate on that part it's fine she tried. ]

Yeah, that's true. Usually didn't have to, like, examine the bodies or anything. Actually it was more like they just disappeared after whatever horrible thing happened to them. And people jumping out of windows or falling off of bridges is pretty different from, like, a guy getting blown up.

Jury's out on sanity around here, though.

[ he closes his eyes ]

Yeah, actually. I'm not sure I'd describe the dead as sane. We're definitely prone to going off the deep end. If those first text messages didn't give away.

[camena]

I figured the messages were crazy because they had to be, not because you guys were being crazy on purpose...

[damp]

It made a lot more sense on our side...

[camena]

Did it...?

[damp]

[ looks upward ]

I don't know. Sometimes you just get swept up in something, you know.

[camena]

I... do.

No, I kind of get it. Like, tension is kind of snapping here just from seeing you guys. I bet once you die it's like—kind of a relief? I can see losing it a little.

[damp]

You definitely tip into a manic sort of "nothing matters" mentality. We couldn't even escape by dying.

[camena]

... Yeahhhh, I heard there was a rule about killing each other...?

[damp]

I don't know about a rule... But every time we died there, we'd just come back in a couple of hours. A few of us died a couple times.

[camena]

Cool, well. Wish that wasn't happening, but good that it doesn't uhh. Stick.
