[She'd been on a cliff, talking with the host, well he'd be threatening to push her. She didn't remember if he did.

Her head hurt. She doesn't even notice bringing a hand to it. She's just slowly blinks at the girl.]

That's correct... You're that Sonozaki girl aren't you? That name sounds familiar...

[Natsuhi cringes. There is an attempt to keep her voice level, but she's too groggy to pull it off.]

Ah... yes. Sonozaki Shion.

[ She's dead after all - or at least, seeing Natsuhi here practically confirms it - so there's no need for her to pretend to be her sister. She can just be herself. Besides, in the end she gave her own original name back before she died.

But nevertheless, she manages to hitch a breath to calm herself down slightly. ]

This place seems to be the afterlife.

[ She thinks. She's pretty sure. ]

I can't tell if it's hell or not, though. [ Because if this is hell, it's a lot better than she thought. ]

Is that so? [She tilts her head. All things considered, she's pretty calm. Or appears that way, she still doesn't know what going on.]

Afterlife? Are you sure everything looks so normal...

[Honestly not sure what she was excepting the afterlife to be like.]

I clearly remember dying. So unless that was some sort of fever dream, then--

[ She cuts her words off, shaking her head as she wears a rather tired smile. ]

Maybe our assumptions on what the afterlife was going to look like were wrong.

I remember a lot of threats and warnings...

[She does remember turning and trying to grab Mayhem. She glances around them, she'd rather not think to hard about that yet.]

There were ghosts last time. But it was hard to see them at first. Unless we find someone we know is alive we won't be able to tell.

I see.

[ Her voice is rather even as she says those two words. ] Do you think we can haunt someone that's still alive?

[ If she can, then she'd like to haunt someone....... ]

They could last time...

[Excuse you she's going to firmly pretend she's still alive for now.]

[ Natsuhi can pretend all she wants; it isn't going to change how Shion feels about it in the slightest bit. ]

I wonder if it will be the same this time as well.

We have to find out if we're in the hotel first. It's rather hard to find people there.

[Because more people end up dead than there, oops.]

... Right. That means we should be on the look out for those who were sent to the hotel.
