... You mean this could be some weird fabrecation and now that kid is actually dead?

[ ... ]

Or we're dead and he's just... fake dead? [ help this is a lot ]

It's hard to say. We don't really know much about how this place works yet.

... and the people we would ask aren't accessible at the moment.

Yeah, that's convenient. Either they really are busy, or they're ignoring us.

[ both are possible. ]

Knowing them, either one is likely.

But we still have to deal with this either way.

You think they're going to make us? Not just... sweep the body away and tell us we suck and have no IQ when we ask about it?

[ y'know. normal personal demon things. ]

Well, think of it this way.

It's either that someone randomly decided to kill someone, and then we never have to deal with it again. Or maybe something else is going on that might actually affect us. There is the matter of needing invites to the party. If this might happen again, I'd like to be prepared.

If it's a predetermined thing, like a quota or a task that someone decided to fulfill then there might be a pattern to it. Like a fingerprint that points to one specific thing.

Otherwise if it's someone that just got a little murder-happy, then we have cells.
