I'm Homura Akemi.

He isn't bothering me, so you don't need to worry about it.

[He's just being a mild irritant.]

[oh_negative]

Okay. I'm glad to hear it. I know our situation is a lot to take in, so I won't press, but if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

[perfero]

Do you have any more information regarding Mami Tomoe's death? It seems no one does.

[oh_negative]

I'm afraid I don't. I'm sorry. She was gone long before I arrived here.

[perfero]

Then do you have any information on the morgues?

[oh_negative]

I don't know much about the morgues here, either. I haven't visited any of them myself yet.

[And he'd like to keep it that way.]

[perfero]

I see. What about death here?

[oh_negative]

Have you read the Survival Guide? I think that document will give you a better idea of how death and dying works here than I can. I don't have any personal experience with it, either.

[perfero]

I have. It wasn't overly detailed. Is death common here?

[oh_negative]

It depends on what you consider "common," but I think so, yes. You can see for yourself if you like. There's an obituary posted every couple of days in the "News" application. It's difficult to gauge exactly how many of us there are in this town, but I would guess there are a few dozen living residents at a time.

Sometimes people appearing on the obituary come back, but sometimes they don't. I've heard estimates of the chances for revival to be around 30-35%. I haven't done the math myself.

[And he's not going to. Measuring death and survival through statistics and numbers never sat well with him.]

[perfero]

It's useful to be able to the perspective of someone who has been here longer than me. Thank you.

[oh_negative]

You're welcome. I'm sorry I'm not able to help more. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do.

[perfero]

I'll keep that in mind.

[She won't, of course.]
