[stop saying all your friends are dead harrow we be trying to work on that!!]
I'm not sure. [Honestly if it were Jester it might have more of a sense of humor about it, but.] I suppose I found the cupcake first, but Yuri is the one who found her lollipop. But she wasn't on any of the lists before this.
Oh. Well - myself included. I went swimming in it. I saw shades I recognized from home; no one here. But. . . the pool is something very similar to what I know as the River, where the souls of the dead go when they die. However, according to Sloth, it is an illusory approximation of the River, not connected to the real thing. So I'm not sure you'd see anything more real than a dream or a simulation.
[. . .]
With how active things have been recently. . . Hmm. I found it peaceful, personally, when I tried. The only time I have actually been in the actual River, it was rather dreadful. Vengeful spirits take shapes intended to torment you so they can prey on you. What I saw there was something. . . incredibly disturbing to me, and also entirely false. I worry it would be unpleasant now, in a similar way.
. . . I don't remember being dead. There's just nothing. Either time-- I remember being alive, and then I remember dying. There's probably something, but I certainly didn't have any clarity on it.
Well according to Aoi, there's a bakery and your best friends the serial killers and a cursed spirit who murdered you are there, so it's probably quite nice, actually.

Funny how-- we do all remember the part about him manipulating children? Or are we just agreeing to move past that.
[It was a really nice conversation! Which was the problem. Made him too sad to think about himself being dead again. Made him too sad to think about Harrow being dead and somehow in that river?]
[No, no. She was alive in the river, that's why she was being attacked by the dead. She should have clarified more details of that bummer situation.]
. . . I'm sure. [This conversation is a little harder, in a weird way. It feels like he wants to have it, so she has to, even though. Ugh. The future.] You mention her, a lot. [Not in any substantive way, just. Offhand, a lot.]

[What a bummer of a conversation, but she feels at home here.]
. . . It isn't bad there, though, I don't think. It just isn't a place that's safe for the living to go.

Yes, there's that. I really am going to kill Mahito a second time, I think.
