[ Lingering as a ghost, unable to form real relationships or to affect real change sounds like a greater Hell than the one they're currently living. It also doesn't seem to be that different from Kim's real life, so he doesn't linger too much on that thought; at least in life, he can have the illusion of having the ability to do either of those things.

As it is, he simply nods, noting that even if their worlds differ, at least one theological basis of the afterlife seems consistent. Everyone has some conception of Hell, and everyone has some conception of those who linger on. Perhaps it is some base human desire to see the wicked punished, formed before they themselves join their ranks, as they all inevitably do. ]

That seems to be the better of the two, yes. [ His lip quirks. ] Though this place has a promise that most theology doesn't include... which is a chance to go back to finish that unfinished business. And not as a ghost.

[ Whether he believes it or not is a different question. He glances at Wuxian, curious. ]

Would I be right in assuming that was what was offered to you?
