Our souls are still here. And theirs are still somewhere, too. I feel sad... But I'm not sure if it's the same as the grief I would feel for lost lives.
[ the sentiment may be callous, depending on how you look at it, but at least their tone is slow and uncertain, like they're working through this in real time. anyway, they shake their head. ]
I don't know. Jiaoqiu mentioned the mara to me, and that may have been relevant. And no outside sources should be able to interfere with Heaven... But I don't want to give you an answer that I'm not confident in. We need more time to look into it.
I understand. For you, it is a different sense of loss than those that don't hold the position or experience that comes with being an angel of Heaven.

Thank you for your honesty, Ramiel. Should I find out something amongst our companions, or see any signs that might point us to an answer, I'll let the three of you know. I know that... investigations and finding answers, these things do take time. But I hope that it won't happen again in the meantime.
You cannot be everywhere all at once, whereas we are roamers exploring the places that you've made available to us. It's better to at least keep one another abreast of what we find.
With it being fixed, will you be able to keep another glitch like it from forming..?

Still. We don't expect this to happen again. We just need to find the source of the glitch and smooth it out. One-off glitches are like that.

We should be able to. Once we know the flaw, it will be easier to implement precautionary protections against it.

I will let others know, should they not come to speak to any of you on the matter.

Thank you. We intend to offer full transparency, but I'm sure it will help if all of you remain in communication with one another as well.
