Do you have a favorite type?

Hmm... I don't think so? They all taste good to me.

Really?

Maybe you just haven't found it yet...

I have a favorite dessert.

Do you have a favorite drink?

I drink a lot of green tea...

That one's good. We could brew some right now?

... mm, yes.

It'll be nice after such a long day.

Alright, then I'll make it.

[She'll start brewing, she seems pretty comfortable with the processes.

Nothing like a comforting beverage after a death.

...

Not that this is a normal thing to have to deal with.]

[ it's normal now.

they will just watch the process........ patiently. ]

[How many deaths are we in now?

The only way to have tea is to be patient about it. Else there's the dreaded slightly flavored water.

Once it's ready she'll pour some out for both of them.]

Thank you.

[ they will take a sippy. ]

How have you been adjusting to here?

[ She's good at brewing drinks, it tastes good! ]

As well as could be expected. This place... is surprisingly nice?

Better than we were before, I take it?

Nobody's been possessed here, so I do think it's an improvement.

Do we know the exact reason why it's safer on this side?

I'm not good with technical details... Kiraman would know.

But I think it's because this was set up as sort of an emergency back up? Whatever is out on the other side of Heaven isn't in here.

Hm... okay.

[ this is so confusing. ]

Wouldn't it be easier if they just all came here then?

[Thinks... about the normies on the other side...]

It might be safer, but emotionally... I don't know if some of them can take it.

... you raise a good point. We do have quite a few young ones.

[ the kids are NOT doing good. ]

I don't know how well they're holding up after everything that's already happened.

[ Execution, mid-trials. Wow. What an experience (negative). ]

Well, even adults can crumble over this type of pressure.

It is ironic though. They'd likely be much more relieved if they were over on this side.

[ Considers the adults she knows at home.

Remembers that they're all insane people.

Decides she has nobody normal to compare against. ]

If only we all ended up on this side to start with.

It definitely would have helped...

Although I am not sure how all the relationships everyone has with each other would have turned out different.

[ Eight weeks of a normal jamjar instead of eight weeks of murder. ]

Tensions wouldn't have been as high.

I do think an intense situation does make people grow closer much more quickly..
