Even if the body will not remain, it is still only proper to give the deceased a send-off.

[heartablaze]

[me: ???? i have questions

hikaru: oh okay :(

her hands wring together awkwardly]

... Are... they really dead forever now, Goat-san?

[retellers]

[ to be fair, it really is just because it seemed rude to leave kano floating in space, only goat cared about getting it back. ]

Not necessarily. It isn't impossible that their souls may still be out there, and may be able to return to us one day.

[heartablaze]

[thank you goat for not letting kano rot in space]

One day...

If... if we helped get the Realm back together like we're supposed to, do you think we might be able to help bring them back somehow?

[retellers]

Perhaps. I don't wish to give you false hope... but I wouldn't dismiss them as being gone forever, either.

[heartablaze]

[She nods, though there's a determined energy behind it.]

Okay. It's... it's something, Goat-san.

I'm gonna be careful with that, I promise. I... don't want people ending up like Shuuya-kun, or Sharon-san, or Cater-chan, just because people might get the wrong idea about something like that.

...Thank you for telling me.

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

... Even if a life can be restored, that doesn't diminish the value of it, or the weight of death. That is wise of you.
