[ they tilt their head a little as if modeling them for him, but ultimately they will leave them there. they think it's funny. ]

I think so. Nothing that happens here will reach your own world unless you choose to tell people when you return, so why not try what you can? Being dead doesn't exactly mean you should stop living.

[ this is a poor way to phrase it, but they know yves will understand their point. they also allow for the handholding, this is fine. they... know how yves feels about love, and it's for that reason they aren't directly teasing him about it. all bets are off the table for everyone else. ]

It's a complicated thing. Love. I think it probably feels differently for everyone, so even trying to explain why you might miss it won't always make sense to everyone you talk to. But as long as you know what you're feeling, maybe that's what matters.
