The loop can last a couple years before it resets back to that night. We make it home... Go back to school... Sometimes the others get deja vu or something, but—it doesn't last.

[damp]

... What?

[ He looks genuinely surprised, and a little horrified at that. ]

So even after you thought you were in the clear, it would reset?

[bxkautx]

Yeah. Well, once you know you're looping you kind of stop falling for the whole thing, but... [ shrugs... ]

[damp]

That... still sucks.

But you found a way out, right? Since you ended up ruling hell.

[bxkautx]

... Dying.

[damp]

Oh.

Was that... your first time dying?

[bxkautx]

Yeah. The deaths in the loops, on the island. They don't really... count? But actually dying, really dying was different.

[ ... ]

Don't look sad about it, it wasn't painful or anything.

[damp]

[ Makes a face at her. ]

You dying is something to be sad about, whether it's painful or not.

[bxkautx]

I'm over it.

[damp]

That's not surprising. Are there any grudges you're still holding onto?

[bxkautx]

I wouldn't call them grudges. They're things I'm annoyed by. Thorns that got lodged in me.
