Why do you ask?

[cupidsammo]

Well, erm...

[ ....... ]

I'm... probably just assuming things, but I was just thinking—that maybe you didn't have a good experience in life. Or... something like that.

[holyspirits]

Oh. No, I led a good life.

[cupidsammo]

[








HUH? ]

And you still find it weird we want to go back?!

[holyspirits]

Yes. Giving up a life that already failed you once for an eternity in paradise sounds like the obvious choice, to me.

Do you truly value the idea that life is finite when you reject its ending just for being unexpected?

[cupidsammo]

I think... that maybe I'm an unusual case to begin with, probably.

[holyspirits]

Right. In your case, you've rejected it twice over.

[cupidsammo]

W- well technically speaking didn't I already have something like this...? Cupids don't age, so by normal means anyway we don't really, um, die. And we don't have to live a normal human life either...

[holyspirits]

That's what I mean.

You died. But you're working as a cupid to reject that. And then you wound up here, perhaps a different death of the soul. And you're working toward redemption in hopes not of staying in Heaven, but returning to life. Or—to being a cupid, in order to work your way back to life.

You have died, in some form or another, twice. And both times, are working to undo that truth.

[cupidsammo]

Mm…

[ WELL. well. okay. ]

I… guess I can see your point. Maybe I should think of a better way of putting it…

[holyspirits]

[ they shrug. ]

The choice is still yours to make. It is a choice, regardless of my opinions.

[cupidsammo]

Well ah the good news is I didn't really plan on changing my choice.....

[holyspirits]

Then you can just proceed as normal.

[cupidsammo]

I will!

So, the garden is nice today.

[holyspirits]

It is. It's one of my favorite spots.

[cupidsammo]

Are you a flower enthusiast?

[holyspirits]

No, not especially. It's like my... second favorite. But I like seeing things grow. And it's interesting that it's such a slow process.

[cupidsammo]

Don't most things in nature grow a bit slowly?

[holyspirits]

They do.

[cupidsammo]

Ah... I don't really think about that part much. That's just how it is to me.

[holyspirits]

That's how it works in the physical world.

[cupidsammo]

Normally... Are you used to things going a bit faster?

[holyspirits]

In a way.

Most flowers in the cloud are for decoration, so no one really wants to sit around waiting for them to grow. So they don't. They just make them permanently in bloom.

[cupidsammo]

Huh? Wait, where?

[holyspirits]

The cloud.
