[Yeah, Michael's heard of the whole impermanent death thing. But still-]

The gods aren't choosy about who they bring back? I'm not sure it matters. For my purposes, anyway. I'm guessing you mean you won't be satisfied by that?

[That's fine by Michael though. Having an infinitely respawning killer just means an endless supply of food for the Visitor. Or maybe it'll move on to a new target after the first time? He can't exactly ask it.]

I'll... try to explain. But it's going to sound kind of crazy, okay? [More like a lot of crazy. Michael glances around to make sure no one else is within earshot. Moment of truth. He's having second thoughts, but he figures the worst that can happen is that Seel thinks he's off his rocker. Which will still suck, a lot, but what's Seel going to do about it? Seel doesn't trust the Guard, he said as much. He won't report this.]

There's something living in my head, kind of, and I have to feed it. Only, it has a very particular diet, if you get my meaning. [This is like the worst explanation ever. Oops.] I figure if it's gotta be somebody, it might as well be the worst somebody. It kind of has a taste for killers anyway.

I guess this amounts to me being here for selfish reasons, sorry, but... it really can be useful.
