"He could tell you're not..." His voice catches on the words he won't say. "But you are alive! How could he even tell something like that? You're here! I can see you!" If she were a ghost or just... gone... then they wouldn't be having this conversation.
He doesn't know why that bothers him so much. Perhaps that, if the kid thinks it's definite, then maybe it could be. Just another case of fate chewing up the people caught in its gears. And... that brings to question how much she remembers. He doesn't want her to remember that, the gruesome details of what exactly happened. He doesn't want that image in his head himself.
He folds his arms and frowns at the floor. "People here have said they've died before. Not like... you, or even me, but in whatever worlds they were taken to. I was told they got 'brought back' somehow. Like that magician guy did." His head shakes a little. "This place doesn't make sense." And usually he's able to roll with that, just go with the horrible flow like he does in his own life. "This guy not knowing Quincy and that weird skeleton world. I thought Justin was just an annoying jerk before but he mentioned eating souls on the bulletin like it didn't even matter. I'm waiting for him to be like--" Aizen. "--someone else. Or for this world to be some kind of sick game again. I don't know. I don't like this."
