Neither do I, but death is like that sometimes. One minute you're cutting down wave after wave of living furniture soldiers summoned by a berserk fairy in a whirlwind of blood, death, and pine scent, and the next minute you're somewhere in between, trying to find a way back, and everything is fuzzy. I don't think we'd be here if something hadn't happened.
That's fair. I tend to be very respectful of authority figures, and death is kind of the ultimately authority figure. But a little skepticism is probably a good thing.

When you hear something all your life, it's hard to break out of that.

[ different strokes for different folks. but he thinks he can understand. he has his own bad habits; he could stand to listen more, maybe. ]
Well, take it at your own pace.

I have to say, that's pretty cool. Going your own way no matter what - I like it! I'm Ylfa, by the way.
