Hmm... I guess they won't be able to do this competition thing, then...

'Tis not a big deal if I die I guess, but maybe for you guys.

[perfectdistance]

Huh? You don't value your life or what?

[powerplay]

[ Slams Mira to bed. ]

All lives are trivial. [ What an answer. ] But even if I die for real, I won't, really. Since devils will just be born again in Hell. And eventually, when I die there, I'll come back on Earth.

[perfectdistance]

So it's a loop for somebody like you. Do you remember anything?

[powerplay]

No. When we die and reform, we start new. We're still the same devil, but.

For example, when I am reborn in Hell, I'll still be the Blood Devil but I won't be Power anymore.

[perfectdistance]

Sounds confusin', but I guess ya already know how it works.

[powerplay]

I guess it is to someone who only has one life.

Unless... wizards have more...?

[perfectdistance]

Uh... I mean, there's a ghost around?

[powerplay]

Ghosts are different!

[ But she is looking at him like she expects him to say more about these ghosts. ]

[perfectdistance]

[Ask about the ghosts or he says nothing.]

[powerplay]

[ Wow, rude. She's staring at him more for a hot second. They can both suffer in this short, comical silence. ]

. . . Ghosts, man!

Tell me more about these ghosts!

[perfectdistance]

I only know about one.

[powerplay]

You only have one ghost?

[perfectdistance]

As far as I know about? Takes a lotta magic to tie somebody's soul down after they die.

[powerplay]

So it's not even a regular thing, and it's on purpose!

[perfectdistance]

Why would it be accidental?

[powerplay]

Why would you make ghosts on purpose?

[perfectdistance]

If ya love the person who dies, I guess. Can't imagine livin' with out 'em?

[powerplay]

That's such a human mentality.

It's dumb to give up on life just because you don't have someone anymore.

[ Nero didn't say give up on life, but. Well. ]

[perfectdistance]

That's... not what he did?

[powerplay]

Huh? What'd he do then! Speak clearly!

[perfectdistance]

He died and his twin tied their souls together.

[powerplay]

Wizards can do that? Sounds almost like a video game idea.

[ Beyond: Two Souls, anyone? ]
