Makes sense. It's hard to explain to normal people who aren't exposed to that part of the world.
[ and speaking of explain, they are fairly sure he does not care, but they do offer a bit of an explanation for why they're so nosy about it. ]
Usually our ghosts are a sign of when a person's going to die. If their spirit appears on one specific night, they'll die within the next year. But I've— [ they pause then, because... what were they going to say, exactly? they had an example, but it's suddenly gone, like a quick thought that vanishes again. it's fine. they bulldoze ahead anyway. ] Seen other things that are a bit similar to your situation. I was curious how it compared.
Yes and no. [ okay. also, it's similar for reasons they don't actually remember which is a fun new thing for them to be realizing suddenly. ] There are other things out there besides ghosts that are similar, then. Does that sound better?
What? [ ... oh. ] Oh. That was before I started this job, I don't know if it would apply the same here as it did back there. Though your particular case in the afterlife would probably be very interesting to God, now that I think about it.
There are far worse things an all-powerful axolotl could do, I think.
But that's right. Different universes, different pockets of those universes...Gamaliel would be able to explain the logistics of that better, I think. This heaven runs under this God's rule and judgment, which might be different from yours.
[ but yeah okay this all makes sense. except for... ] ...this isn't your "heaven" either, though. So how did you end up just knowing God and becoming the axolotl's handyman?
God reached out to us and asked for help with this project. Since they have the whole of heaven to watch over and can't be here or anything, they wanted extra guidance for you and that's where we come in.
All of you happened to be the next batch coming in when God decided to do this. [ luck of the draw. ] Everyone else was judged already, but maybe they didn't like the way the judgment was going before this. You can teach old dogs new tricks.

...so they're premonitions, for you. How can anything like that be similar to my situation, then?

And how do all these premonitions and ghosts and other things fit into the scheme of this "afterlife"? [ finger quotes ]

...so this place is completely disconnected from any other world and its own afterlife, including yours.
