I wonder how many people died. [Either in the groups, or in those places. A lot of groups seemed to run into ghosts.] So far there's no answers. Just more questions. Typical.
The ones in the prison starved to death mostly, I think. It was a lot of memories and feelings all at once. My stomach still hurts.
[The phantom pains of starvation; she's hungry, but looking or smelling food makes her feel nauseous. It's finally starting to fade away, but even now she was just nibbling on crackers to keep her stomach calm. Fun.
It killed me, he says. She stares at the words. 'Again?' she almost asks.]
I didn't know death would be like that. I don't know what to think now. [It had been something she sought, a fine line she tread between wanting to live or die, and it had been tipped. She'd experienced both but was no closer to making a decision on this than she had been before.]
Did you come back alright? I know sometimes coming back means some kind of 'penalty.'
