[nodding...]

Yeah, the torment seems... a lot more mundane than I would've thought.

[preordain]

Maybe it's meant to get more and more inconvenient?

[counterclocked]

Like, they're trying to get our guard down before stuff goes really wrong?

[preordain]

Probably. Of course, this is just speculation, but I have a hard time believing this is as bad as it gets.

[counterclocked]

That's a good point. There are definitely things here that are annoying, but it's not really as bad as you'd assume when you think of eternal torment...

[preordain]

Do you believe this is actually hell?

[ he's curious ]

[counterclocked]

I didn't even believe an afterlife existed about half a week ago, so I honestly have no idea what to think now, but a couple of people have said they thought it might not be...?

[brief pause]

What about you?

[preordain]

I haven't seen any reason to think that it is. The only thing that has been believable so far is that I might have actually died.

[ but whether or not this is HELL? hmm ]

[counterclocked]

You're not sure whether you did or not?

[preordain]

Basically... it would be extremely unlikely for me to have gotten out of that situation without dying.

[ so, not impossible, but it's easier to believe that he did die than not. ]

[counterclocked]

So you don't remember it?

[a pause]

...Maybe that's better. I mean - not that it's good either way.

[preordain]

Mm... let's just say that it would have been an immediate death.

[ so. not much to remember. ]

Do you remember?

[counterclocked]

[he nods after a second, making a face.]

[preordain]

That must be difficult.

[counterclocked]

It's mostly just... confusing.

[bringing a hand to his chest almost unconsciously]

[preordain]

[ he glances at the spot then back to hunter's face. ]

It was unexpected?
