To tell the truth, we mostly didn't. It wasn't an easy place to live, even for the ones with more... ah, "heroic experience." All the information you're handed in this world, when you arrive, that's all stuff we had to figure out on our own.

Like... that we would resurrect, if we died. That if we disappeared, then maybe we were sent home. That people who had disappeared could come back. That they could return without their memories — and, sometimes, with them.

I don't mean to make the hardships of this world sound like they don't matter, but... it is kinder, I think. This place is kinder.
