What do you think about Gale and the others? What they did to Camille.

[recession]

[ I see you said I will be the bold one and set this after the reveal. Everyone else chose before. ]

...

I knew she was going to have to die eventually. We all knew it, surely. This group is largely optimistic, but not blind.

Knowing she was afflicted, she could very well kill again, and the only way to stop it was her own death.

[ Still... an assassination? And leaving her to be discovered by spiders... ]

[turbulency]

[ I'm an alpha, Lowe. ]

It was a clever way to test if dying would cure her of the possession. [ ... ] But it's kind of gross to play with someone's life like that.

[recession]

...Yeah. Maybe that's why it doesn't settle well.

[ Just because he knew it HAD to happen doesn't mean they should've secretly ganged up on her like that, maybe. Kept it in the dark for so long, and then bring her back to life? What if that didn't work, What if they'd brought her back wrong? ]

[turbulency]

[ tilts his head ]

Does that happen in your world?

[recession]

...What?

[ Wow get out of his head sir. But maybe if he feigns ignorance... ]

[turbulency]

No offence, but necromancy doesn't seem impossible in your world.

[ Cult stuff. ]

[recession]

It's not. In fact, they apparently teach it in the Ministry of Darkness and its schools.

[turbulency]

... Are you joking?

[recession]

I am not.

[turbulency]

And sometimes people come back wrong?

[recession]

...Necromancy, typically, doesn't revive people with their thoughts and the like intact. It's more like creating a ghoul.

I don't know of any examples of true resurrection.

[turbulency]

Until today.

[recession]

...Sure. Yeah.

I guess so -- looks that way so far, anyway.

[turbulency]

You don't trust it?

[recession]

It's not strictly a distrust, more than that it's a bit much to consider.

[turbulency]

Kanda was pretty upset about it too.

Bringing people back shouldn't happen without consequences, but this place operates by its own weird rules.

[recession]

He dislikes necromancy. I've heard his reasons, I'd feel the same in his shoes.

Suppose you could say I somewhat am in similar shoes.

...

But fortunately for us all, she does seem... fine.

[turbulency]

[ ... Love? ]

Physically, anyway. I don't know if bringing her back was kind on her emotional state.

[recession]

[ Why do you keep thinking that word to yourself. ]

Maybe not, although I think saying that we should have left her for dead is even more cruel, possibly.

...

Is there something else on your mind you want to talk about, Mr. Geto...?
