[yaaaay friendly ghost buddies]

Where you come from...what happens after one dies? Does everyone end up a spirit like you, or is that only certain individuals?

[sunsetsitter]

[Her eyes slide up to Kakyoin before quickly falling to Hierophant's hand where she gently plays with his digits.]

...Huh. You really did pick an easy one. [...] It's just on Cleave. That's my planet, I don't...remember if I told you that or not. It was our "thing", becoming spiritual defenders. Most people though? Yeah, they just... I don't know what happens to them. Where they go.

[lapidarius]

Just one planet? That's not what I'd have expected at all.

[...]

Sorry. If that was a weird question, I mean.

[sunsetsitter]

S'far as I know. I'm guessing everyone else just kind of looked over and realized, "hey, that's pretty dumb, let's not."

[She doesn't seem overly bothered, but she had a habit of doing that when discussing death.]

You can ask as many weird questions as you want, you know. Or whatever your definition of weird is.

[lapidarius]

Do you think it's dumb? I can imagine some people would want to be able to linger for even a little while after they'd died.

[not that he'd know]

But...no, it probably gets old after a while. It doesn't hurt, does it?

[sunsetsitter]

I mean... It didn't work so that part was kind of pointless. But for a ghost I'm pretty happy. Can't speak for anyone else back home.

[All those dead kids still living with fear and hatred. The ones she'd left behind.]

Like, physically? [She lifts Hierophant's hand to show his user.] This is the most feeling I've had in a long time. But sometimes it hurts. In other ways.

[lapidarius]

...That sounds like it's about what I would have expected, honestly.

[Kakyoin still knew he was missing a lot of memories--he wasn't sure what or how many, but it didn't take a genius to recognize scarring from injuries no one could live through.]

[sunsetsitter]

[She nods slowly before going back to tracing along the Stand's palm.]

...Are you disappointed?

[lapidarius]

Huh? No, I...don't think that I am.

[sunsetsitter]

Good.

...I mean. I guess I don't really know why that's good. [Like it's not like it changes anything. She was just curious.] I guess maybe I just feel like I gotta represent, or something.
