I can't believe it's all gone. The entire town. I guess that's a pretty impressive memorial.

I wonder if he ever goes back there? ... I wonder if any of them do.

Hey, is anyone else here dead?

I mean, did you die before you found yourself here?

Is... Is that even possible?

[exex_demon]

Is what even possible? Dying?

[trigger_unhappy]

No, no, I mean do people really show up here when they die sometimes? I was in a lot of pain at the time, but I don't think it was that severe...

[exex_demon]

Well, I did.

I don't think you have to die to get here though. Most people didn't, from what I can tell.

[trigger_unhappy]

You died? I-I'm really sorry to hear that. But... You're okay now, right? Right? You don't look dead at all to me...

Th-that's good. I don't think I'm ready to die yet, and I had just promised some of my friends that I would wait a while before doing so.

[exex_demon]

Yes, I'm apparently alive and perfectly healthy again! It's just a little odd, that's all. But I'm not going to complain.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Well...maybe not "fine", but not dead? Were you injured?

[trigger_unhappy]

I knew that the land here could do a lot of things, but I didn't know it could do anything like that. That was really nice of it!

I hope so... Even if it doesn't feel any different, I really don't want to be dead right now. And I was hurt, yes: I had been shot. A few times, I think. A-and stabbed once.

[exex_demon]

Well, getting shot or stabbed, or shot and stabbed, doesn't have to be fatal. I know people who have survived that.

What's your name? I'm Anya.

[trigger_unhappy]

You sound like you're used to that kind of thing happening. I didn't think it was fatal, si-since it had been a few minutes since that all happened. I wouldn't really know for sure anyway. I'm not sure what dying feels like. O-or doesn't feel like.

Jacuzzi. M-my name is Jacuzzi Splot.

[exex_demon]

Oh, every now and then. I haven't been shot, but I've been stabbed. I also had a load of bricks fall on me once. As long as you get some medical attention, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Nice to meet you... That's kind of an unusual name.

[trigger_unhappy]

Hopefully you'll never have to be. Well, no one ever has to be, but it still happens a lot. But why would someone do those other things to you?
-Oh, um, I haven't seen a doctor or anything about it, but I've kept the wounds wrapped up as well as I can. I don't know if that's good enough, but...

Thanks. I think... I... I guess it's sort of uncommon.

[exex_demon]

It's a long story.

... There are some doctors and healers on the island. Maybe you should have one of them take a look at it?

[trigger_unhappy]

I'm sorry for bringing it up. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

I probably should, but I don't know if any of them would be willing to help someone like me, especially since I have nothing to give in return. I have the knife that I pulled out of my arm: that's about it.

[exex_demon]

Oh no, it's not like that, it's just a really long story. Like, a thousand years long.

Hmm, I don't think they work that way. No one really uses money on the island. Besides, don't most doctors become doctors because they want to help people?

[trigger_unhappy]

A thousand!?

But there was a guy who wanted me to pay him for telling me about the island, so I thought... Maybe it was just him. I wouldn't know why doctors become doctors. Don't they usually get paid a lot? I-I guess your answer might still apply to some of them.

[exex_demon]

Give or take a few hundred years.

He wanted you to pay him? He must have been trying to trick you. There's nothing to buy on this island even if you had money.
