Has anyone else experienced death here? Have you had any side-effects?

Not sure if I'm supposed to be waiting for the punchline or not. Guess Hope wasn't yanking our chains about revival.

[camouflage]

Don't worry. I don't keep secrets here.

[L Y I N G]

[recinerate]

Some secrets are worth keeping. But this is a piece of information that would be of value to everyone who has been brought here.

[camouflage]

Agreed.

[recinerate]

I take it you were among those who were recently buried alive?

[camouflage]

Yeah. I've endured a lot of torture techniques, but that was a new one.

[recinerate]

I see. I'm sorry no one was able to reach you in time.

[camouflage]

Don't be. The man who was coordinating all those people digging, he would've found me if I had given him the chance. But I didn't.

[recinerate]

Regardless, it shouldn't have happened.

[camouflage]

Necessary evil.

[recinerate]

Death may be inevitable, but this kind of death isn't necessary. It could have been prevented.

[camouflage]

Maybe, maybe not. It's over now, so don't worry too much about it.

[recinerate]

I wouldn't say I'm worried. I'd say I'm angry.

[camouflage]

I guess what I mean to say is don't dwell on it. So far, it sounds like I'm the only one who's died here and that was on purpose.

[recinerate]

What do you mean by "on purpose"?

[camouflage]

It's exactly as it sounds.

[not even ashamed to admit he basically killed himself without knowing if he would actually come back or not]

[recinerate]

For what purpose?

[camouflage]

To find out if the revival rumor was a crapshoot or not.

[recinerate]

That was exceptionally risky.

[camouflage]

I'm used to risky business. It worked out.

[recinerate]

Was the information you gained truly worth dying for?

[camouflage]

How else would we figure it out?

[recinerate]

There's an almost nonexistent chance that nobody would die at some point while we're here. Causing your own death just to find out what would happen seems unnecessary.

[camouflage]

Well, it was better me than anyone else. And I wanted to know. Plus, you know, half-delirious from being trapped in a coffin.

[recinerate]

I suppose I can see your point. Do you remember anything of note about the experience?

[camouflage]

Unfortunately, no. The force of the dirt falling down on me broke my neck. Lights out. Then, I woke up in Hope's temple.
