Especially because he has no idea how to respond. Looking uneasily off at the floor to the side, he considers his words for a moment before choosing them carefully. ]

... you know, I heard from someone that when people die here, they come back? But strangely? Like, they came back looking like pencil sketches something, and they acted strangely for a while. And I dunno if that still counts for people who, um, usually don't die? But since normal people aren't supposed to come back from death either, I feel like it might be kinda dangerous to just assume your, uh, not-dying is going to work the same here? Especially since it's not something you can carefully test to see if it still works or anything.
