I agree. Death might feel like the end, but it's really the beginning of a different journey. If we were to forget the people who've died... would they still exist at all? Things to think about, I guess.
I think they would like knowing that. [ they seem to be thinking. ] I've never had anyone close to me die until recently. It sort of felt like the end of the world. It can be hard to know where to go from there.
This place is more about you, not us. It was just... [ sort of their way of saying they kind of understand, but they're also a little awkward, so. ] Never mind.
If you ever want to talk about it, I don't mind hearing it out. [not like he doesn't already spend every day thinking about his own FAILURES and DEAD FRIENDS.] But you don't have to.
If I'm being completely honest, this kind of job is a little different for me. Usually I don't get this personal. Not that I mind entirely, but I would rather hear about you anyway.
I had about four or five I was doing before I started this one. Some of them were community service-type jobs. Others were animal care. Others were customer service. The kind where you have to make sure everyone's beer is topped off and be met with the reality you're dealing with a table of lousy tippers. [ dryly. ] This job is a little more intensive, but you're not the worst people I've dealt with.

You must miss them. [ ... ] We can talk about something else if you want.

You kept yourself busy. Money issues, or an aversion to idle hands?
