Can Shinki get sick?

[ A seemingly simple question, but one that's been clawing at him for days. The symptoms have become too painful to ignore, so he bites his tongue and seeks answers because unknown to him, his bloodlust has begun to manifest. ]

No one knows how we came here in the first place, so far, or why it is that, among the newcomers, shinki who are killed return. I've heard that is not the case with shinki who were created in the normal way.

So I can't answer either of those questions, but it may be a little too dangerous to try to find the limit.

[ His eyes narrow at those last words. With no god to explain things to him, Zero had to cease his own answers and he had no intention of shying away from answers he needed. ]

Dangerous, how?

[reformedsinner]

Dangerous, as in the only way to know how many deaths is too many is to exceed the number.

[moonlitknight]

......

[ His lips think into a grim line. ]

The Shinki here.

How often do they die?

[reformedsinner]

That would depend on how many dangerous situations they encountered.

I think they disappear more often.

[moonlitknight]

[ His fingers tighten on the device. ]

What happens to us when that happens. When we die?

[reformedsinner]

We come right back. I suppose this must be an easygoing kind of Hell after all.

[moonlitknight]

[ A momentary pause, his interest piqued. ]

..... You think this is Hell?

[reformedsinner]

In the sense of an afterlife, certainly.

At least half of us are dead.

[moonlitknight]

And the other half?

[reformedsinner]

Are gods.
