I hope so. It would be a hassle to deal with trial like this.

[purities]

Trials are already troublesome enough as it is. [but also, hmm...] Do you recall what happened to you while you were gone?

[rippled]

Bits and pieces. It was... we were searching for something, and had to go through different trials where the scenery changed. Through dungeons...

[purities]

Changing scenery. Like the executions we've witnessed?

[mizu does not know what a dungeon crawl rpg is]

[rippled]

A little like that. But we would do a lot of walking through some dark place with a lot of pathways and doors, and then we would suddenly be in a room... it was strange.

[purities]

Huh. Sounds disorientating.

[rippled]

Was it anything like that for you?

[purities]

Not at all. Ours was more... straightforward. Normal up until nearly the end, I suppose. We were just living our lives.

[rippled]

Is that so? What happened then?

[purities]

We were medics in the middle of a war. We did our duties for several months, and then... we were separated. Held hostage by the enemy for a century. After that point, my memories became so muddled that I couldn't remember if certain people were dead or alive, or even their names at times.

But it was nothing like what you described.

[rippled]

I see...

[ they close their eyes, trying to imagine that. ]

Interesting. Heaven seems less and less as they described every day.

[purities]

Exceedingly so. We've encountered more curses than blessings.

[rippled]

I suppose it could be a way to test us, but I feel like most people would really just choose to leave after all of this.
