anyway it's true there is nothing i could do about it just like how shu is using kilometers despite living in the usa. shenhe doesn't know what a kilometer is probably]
I assume it must be similar to the distance between nations in Teyvat. [a beat. anyway, she's bored of this conversation.] What is that?
[points at cigarette. she knows what smoking is but idk if she's seen a cigarette.]
[ i don't even know what you guys use. i thought you used km, because i use miles so i assume everything is opposites to rebel against the former oppressors. ]
[shenhe is not very good at people but she has enough experience with complicated relationships that she thinks she understands there is a reason for the face.]
Dead or not, we are still breathing. My heart still beats.
[ thank you for intrinsically Understanding shenhe. please reach cr level 4 or 5 to unlock the smoking backstory because i actually think she'd vibe with it. ]
Weird, right?
We're dead, but we're still functioning normally. We're still eating. We can still feel things. Wonder what's up with that.
Normally it’s more of a… eternal pit of torment and fire, perfect and wonderful or… something in the middle if you weren’t a terrible person but weren’t a saint either.
[ spoken with the tone of someone who never fucked with religion. ]
Weird though. If someone told me I was dead, I’d expect to be… I dunno. Cold? Not have a heartbeat at the very least.
This seems like your middling option. [it's not fire, but it's not perfect. it kind of just is.] I would have assumed death would be a total cessation of consciousness, and yet.
[i keep going to write some sort of filler "she fiddles with this" text but no, she just stands there almost completely still. she is not a fidgeter.]
If erasing people means killing them, it is the most efficient way to win a competition. It makes sense. What doesn't make sense is only allowing it on... Thursdays.

me getting jumpscared by the pc pic
I have no idea what that is.
[ but he DOES know what a cigarette is. ]
Cigarette. Don't smoke, it's terrible for you.
bites him
I have no interest. [she's seen ningguang use a pipe before though so she gets the gist.] Why do you do it if it's terrible for you?
that's fair
... Mm. [ his face looks complicated for a moment. ] Someone I knew used to smoke. Picked it up there.
I was trying to quit, recently. But there's not much point in quitting for my health if I'm dead anyway.

[she's kind of meh about it.]
I still feel exactly the same as I did when I was alive. [...] Which I suppose is a relief.

Anyway. What do you make of the rules?
no subject
Yeah. Surprising, honestly. Both on the middling option, and on it not just being the end of awareness.
[ she really is just like 🧍 ]
Not exactly difficult to understand. But not exactly reassuring either.

Maybe they don't want a bloodbath of people trying to get themselves home immediately.
