[A little hum of agreement, but then he also looks a bit concerned.]
...Zhongli and Charlie both sent me letters that had multiple parts that I couldn't read, as well. But... I assume she meant for Zhongli's body, then. We'll have to keep it in mind and be more thorough this time.
I did wonder if that's why we have two again this week... I'd truly like to think that no one else would be tempted by the apples, but if this means that a new person is afflicted every week and the previously afflicted remain as such...
I ought to try speaking to God as well... [He keeps trying to talk to his own but they're LEAVING HIM ON READ so.]
But that's good to know. I know that this affliction causes some sort of damage to the soul, and that leaving it for too long could put them at great risk, to the point that they may need to be remade...? Or so I've heard. For their sake and the sake of the other lives here, it's best for them to be returned to a place where they're free from the interference's influence.
I'm sure we would all rather avoid it if there happened to be a better way. Even knowing that they're close by and safe doesn't negate the difficulties of passing for them, or loss for the rest.
[this struck a nerve and now he gets to deal with her being suddenly very upset.]
Whether it's right or whether it isn't, I don't want to keep hurting people I care about. I don't want that to be the only thing I can do. It isn't fair.
[coming back to friday pcs after saturday is always so funny.
He meets the upset with the same sort of mellow air, though there's concern in it, too. And something adamant as he says:]
It isn't the only thing that you can do. [A beat.] ...But it is an unfair and cruel situation. I wish that I had something of greater worth to say... I don't wish to give only cold comforts.
So it does. [There's a little lilt of something softly melancholic, but it doesn't surface for long.] ...At the very least, we can do whatever possible to support one another through the difficulties, in whatever ways we can.

[That isn't good either, damn.]

He was adamant that the best way to help them would be to send them to where the other souls are recovering.

I hate the notion of having to think about killing one of our own, even if it's the best outcome.

I think the only comforts anyone could give are cold. You can't reassure me it doesn't have to be that way, because it does.
[so she's grateful for his concern, but also grateful he didn't try to pretend otherwise.]
