[she's jealous about that, sometimes. about how bdsm has all of their members here, about how there are some teams reunited in death. she's alone, and she feels that way - the people here have offered out their hands and she's taken as much as she can, but. there's that bond that she's missing.]

No. Not right now. [she's less absolutely fucked up. but she is still a little broken in the sense that she's a little more trigger-happy. like killing people is a mercy. like it's better than waking up and laughing, and laughing, and laughing, the way nahri does a little to the left and behind rang.

[rang unfortunately recognizes this, these hallucinations aside -- he remembers his own behavior from the week rin died too. he eases a step closer, moving to block the view of whoever shenhe's looking at,]
I'm tempted to say yes. ...But it'll probably upset some people.
[not all though he's sure,]
I know I can ask you though, without you judging me for it.

...I'd want that too, if it could make me stop dreaming.
[though he's luckier, that everyone he wants to see is here on this side with him,]
Even if they had die. It's not like this side is any different from theirs. Better actually, if they're free from that endless routine.

What about now? Would you want to die again?

It would upset me if you didn't come back. But yes. [he can ask her.] If you wanted it, I would give it to you, and I wouldn't tell anybody. Anytime.
