Very compassionate of you.

[holyspirits]

We're all very compassionate. We wouldn't have been chosen otherwise!

[kumeyuri]

I'd wonder how you got into Heaven if you weren't...

[holyspirits]

Exactly! We wouldn't.

Before now, these kinds of redemption trials weren't how things were done. Anyone without compassion just wouldn't have been allowed in from the start.

[kumeyuri]

Congratulations on making it, then. Did you think you would?

[holyspirits]

I didn't think there was a Heaven.

But I figured if there was one I wouldn't ever see it.

[kumeyuri]

Didn't think you deserved it?

[holyspirits]

Something like that.

[kumeyuri]

Double congratulations, then?

[holyspirits]

=ᴗ= Thank you.

Although in most ways it isn't very different from where I was before.

[kumeyuri]

Either your previous place was amazing or this is a knock against Heaven here.

[holyspirits]

The first one! O_O

To me it's normal. But I understand that it's a bigger deal to people who have spent more time in other places.

[kumeyuri]

Normal in what way, exactly?

[holyspirits]

Normal as in it's what I've known for most of my existence.

[kumeyuri]

Yeah, but which parts?

[holyspirits]

It's a little bit hard to explain.

I'm used to a place that other people might describe like Heaven. An afterlife where they can do what they want and be who they want.

[kumeyuri]

[thanks for this lore i will still have no idea who this is]

And yet you ended up in a DIFFERENT afterlife?

[holyspirits]

It wasn't exactly in an afterlife. It's just comparable. Some people would consider it one. But it's not that, exactly.

[ is this helping. ]

[kumeyuri]

Can't say I'm getting it.

[holyspirits]

Really? ≖~≖

I suppose it's kind of a question of philosophy.

[kumeyuri]

Not exactly my thing...

[holyspirits]

It is now! ᵔᗜᵔ

Think about it like this. You died, and came here. In that case, dying was just a matter of going somewhere new and not being able to turn back. Even if that new place is very different.

But that kind of thing could happen when you're alive too, couldn't it? So what's the fundamental difference between "dying" and "going somewhere new, alive"? Is there one?

[kumeyuri]

I think some people would argue there is still a difference, but I get your point.

[holyspirits]

There's nuance.

I won't claim that they're exactly the same. But they're closer than people think.

[kumeyuri]

I feel like to most people, being able to traverse realms in general, living or not, is a big deal.
