[He gives her a sideways glance.]

No.

[syndromed]

Mii...

[voltadomar]

You can't puppy-dog-eyes your way into underaged drinking. I'm sorry. In fact, I think that has the opposite effect.

[syndromed]

[ tch. ]

It was worth trying.

[voltadomar]

Mhm. Nice try.

[A bit humourless. He won't lecture her, though.]

By the way, I don't know if you've heard, but it seems that people are still receiving "letters from the dead."

[syndromed]

I heard that it was happening. But I don't know what kind of letters people have gotten.

[voltadomar]

I was able to read one the other day. The contents were strictly personal, however. Nothing informative.

[syndromed]

That does more to prove it's real.

... Which means that to die here is not an ending.

[voltadomar]

There's something hopeful in that. Though I still plan on not dying, first and foremost.

[syndromed]

That's my intention as well, though I don't expect to have full control over it.

[ sometimes you get murdered. ah well. ]

What's strange to me, if they're writing letters, is that it means they're still in the same timeline as the rest of us.

[voltadomar]

The same timeline? [A curious look.]

[syndromed]

They're still here, somewhere. They aren't looping.

[voltadomar]

[A moment passes, and he nods.]

One thing the letter did say... It was something along the lines of "I don't want to see you on this side, so you'd better live."

[syndromed]

... Then we know it isn't a good place to be.

[voltadomar]

We don't know that for sure. It was probably meant as encouragement. And besides... a lot of us would rather go home, than go to a better place.

[syndromed]

I guess so.

[ she isn't sure about that. ]
