That's exactly why I stuck with this project, Koharu. Even if I blew my second chance, and I'm not getting another one, I want people to have theirs. To be better versions of themselves and at least try to have the option. A miracle's... a good way to put it. Something that changes you, and you just try to make it better going forward.
[ Once again her eyes lift up, a hint of surprise in them. Her expression softens just as quickly, though, a faint smile on her face. ]
Thank you for your kindness, Gabriel. It doesn't seem like you've had an easy time even in someplace like heaven, but... you've still always been here for us.
I didn't expect to be here when I died. [ so yes, it has not been easy. ] But if I'm here, I want to try and do something good with my afterlife. And that includes stuff like this. [ more pets for the cat. ]
Even if this project turns out to be a one and done... I like that we got to meet each other.
Me too. I'm glad I got to meet everyone, really—even if it was for a short time. I wish it could've been better, but... everyone has still been very kind.
I don't know. Sometimes people really do show their true colors in times of crisis. Like being nice until it's inconvenient. So far though most people here don't seem that way.
[ again, they decide not to remind her. or tell her, in this case. ]
... think all that matters right now is getting through tonight and tomorrow. It's a little easier to hope, knowing they'll all be back soon. Helps to focus on that.
... Yes, they will be—it does make me feel a little better knowing that. They seem to be doing okay on the other side. At least, the letters I've gotten have assured me of that.
Have you been writing to a lot of them? [ it's just casual conversation, gently steering it in a nicer direction to make her think less about people potentially being awful. ]
I go back and forth on that, I think. Sometimes I can't actually say the words and it's easier to write it and let them sit with it for a while as I die a slow, agonizing death by anxiety from trying to say anything.
[ this is not entirely true, it's teasing, but also real. they're bad with words half the time. ]
I don't think it was always this way for me. [ a little play at honesty. ] Just... you know, recently. Sometimes things change, and not always in a way you can understand. But it's easier when it's one on one usually.

I would hope not. I wouldn't even know what there's to gain from doing that here.

Sometimes it's easier not to think about what other people are thinking.

... Maybe not. Not right now, anyway.

I... hope things can get peaceful for you again, too.

... I have time after the project to figure it out. But thanks.
