( Shinichi very carefully and gently withdraws another seed from the girl's hair and tosses it down onto the ground, looking up curiously as she says she wants to ask him a question. When it comes, it gives him pause for a moment, hands hovering in the air as the weight of it really comes in, what the girl is asking.
....He takes a few moments to think about it. Really think about it, because.... he won't automatically claim that he isn't dead.
For a long time now, that's been the outcome he's feared and dreaded and even to some extent expected. It's been this horrible looming thing, and certainly a justifiable concern, considering he's been literally targeted by alien parasites for the past several months of his life. Alien parasites who want to either kill him because they think he's an anomaly, or kill him so that Migi can jump ship from his body and join theirs instead.
Could this be.... some place after death? Shinichi swallows, and quickly glances to his right hand which has gone tense. He can tell it's listening, intrigued by this question, and by what the girl is insinuating. Did she die back home...? )
Honestly, my memory's a little hazy, because... so much was going on. ( The boy frowns softly.... but no, the idea of being killed back home is not an abnormal one in him. )
But I don't... I don't think so. ( Migi would've remembered, would know, and the alien hasn't said anything about it. And now comes the question to Usagi, and Shinichi looks sorry to voice it aloud, voice very soft. )
