No. Not normally. [A long pause, before he takes a deep, careful breath.] But, Aruji... our master at home, he can find their spirits, sometimes. He's done that before. [...] Just--never since he's given us these bodies.
[And obviously, being in the prism complicates things in a way Yasusada can't even begin to try and understand.]
Hm. [She folds her arms, pensive - and after a moment, she speaks.] I'll trust in him, too. Its one thing if I were to die, for example. Humans don't have second chances. If your Aruji is that powerful, then...I think hope is what one should focus on.

He nods, flexing his fingers, as if that will help keep him grounded.]
Mm. I want to.
