Death is simply part of the cycle of life for human raw materials-- there is little reason to find it something so frightening, especially when one takes into consideration the fact that you have all been given another chance.

Rather than dwelling on the events that have transpired, it would be useful to move forward.

You can't just expect people to 'move forward' from it so easily! Sure, I'm grateful that I'm alive again, but that doesn't make any part of this natural. How can you not find something like this frightening?!

[evaluative]

Ah, my apologies-- it may be that something such as this is quite...common for one such as myself. Even so, there is little good that may come from holding fast to any fears regarding death.

[remnantstrike]

That may be true, but... it's not exactly easy. Just trying to stop your fear of death. It's not easy.

[evaluative]

What is it about death that you fear?

[remnantstrike]

[Well that's certainly an unexpected question. It takes her a moment to gather her thoughts and actually answer.]

Leaving the people I care about behind, like I'm abandoning them. Not being able to live out my life.

[evaluative]

If that is the case, then the knowledge that you would be brought back from that state of death should be enough to render that fear entirely unnecessary.

[remnantstrike]

I suppose you're right but... it's hard to just come and accept that.

[evaluative]

In time, perhaps. I have found that it is much less of a surprise once it has happened a first time.

[remnantstrike]

You've... died before? More than once?

[evaluative]

Yes, I have. Of course, I wonder if many of those instances could be considered as true deaths.

[remnantstrike]

What do you mean by 'true deaths'?

[evaluative]

That which would normally kill the average raw materials...has no lasting effect.

[ oh god, to trauma or not trauma......]

[remnantstrike]

Is... that so. [She is so lost now, you have no idea.]

[evaluative]

Would you prefer I showed you?

SORRY FOR SPAMMING kaljdaslk

[remnantstrike]

If you... showed me? Showed me what, exactly?

no problem! sorry for the slow D:

If I were to show you what I meant; it is, after all, somewhat difficult to explain properly without some form of demonstration.
