[bloodbathing]

Don't mind being dead?

[vagabone]

used to

I know it sounds morbid but it's been so long almost everyone I knew is dead too. we're okay 👍😎

[ Maine doubts he could ever get over being dead, if his consciousness lived on. But maybe being dead changes one's outlook. How should he know? ]

They're solid spirits, too?

[vagabone]

yes! it's normal. happens to all of us. not too different from being fully alive.
