[ Unfortunately. But also unironically tfw it was an actual prescribed painkiller at one point. ]

I think you could afford a day.

[ But he supposes that's fair enough. ]

[fried]

[ he glances away, out at their surroundings. ]

I'll tell you a secret. [ he adjusts his coat a bit. ] I think I'd like that day.

[ as responsible as he feels like he has to be, he would really not mind staring into the abyss for a few hours. ]

[ Just looking at him instead of following whatever Jiaoqiu glances to. ]

I won't tell anyone if you want to.

[fried]

[ an ear flick.

and almost like an abrupt change of subject: ]

The angels tell me that things like mara should not affect people in this afterlife.

[ though maybe it isn't. maybe it's not hard to tell where his head is at. ]

[boxcar]

...No?

[ Like he's propping the door open if Jiaoqiu wants to mention more. ]

[fried]

Mm. So the General was not affected.

There must have been something else, I just cannot fathom what. [ a beat. ] I should move on. This isn't going to do me any good.

All three of them did.

[fried]

Did you speak to them about it at length?

[boxcar]

I asked if something could have interfered. Other gods. Hell.

They all said it should be impossible. I pointed out they didn't know a lot the last few days, but they still insist.

[fried]

[ exhales slow. ]

They told me that the second they know more, they'll tell me.

[boxcar]

...I will keep asking too. Until we get an answer.

It is better than nothing.
