If someone was dead before being brought to this place, have they been resurrected?

It seems that there are numerous individuals that remember dying before their arrival here

if you are one of those people, if you are “dead”, i would like to ask you a few questions.

And if someone is dead in their own world, that raises the question of what happens when we “go back”

is this just purgatory before the final death sentence

wonders never cease, i guess.

Please reply if this applies to you or if you have any relevant information or opinions on the matter.

Thanks.

un: epjack; here she is now that i see youve hidden this from me

whoa
that's pretty heavy. are there really people here that were dead back in their own world?
kinda makes me wonder how this place decided they're a good source of chroma

[And... also worry about some of her own, very highly incredibly specific circumstances brought about by the whole world-hopping thing and what she was told back in the world before this one, but she is so not about to air that on a public post.
Sorry, Mukuro. Maybe someday.]

okay, here's my thoughts
if we get to the point that the lunatians can send us home, that kinda implies they made something to do it, right
so maybe once that happens, people will get a choice?
maybe you'll get to pick if you want to stay here or if you wanna risk going back to your own world
and if you do risk it, since there's apparently tons of timelines and versions of our own worlds and whatever
all that stuff, i don't get it THAT much, but
maybe it'll plop you in a timeline where you lived?

but i'm just spitballing, really

[Mukuro considers just not responding. Shit, of all the people to reply to this...]

It’s heavy, but that’s the reality of it.

Sure, I could always request to stay here, but plenty of people come and go on a daily basis, there’s a high possibility that I disappear before anything like that ever happens. Back into the abyss of death.

Even if the timeline thing is possible, that’s all just conjecture. Nothing I can rely on.

It is what it is. Maybe I should just accept it.

[send this girl to dr: IF where she belongs]

[earrdrums]

[dear IF, please pick up your lost child]

still kinda sad tho isn't it?
like i'm not the most optimistic person, but even i would want something more than "i'm gonna disappear if this world doesn't want me anymore"

[That's followed by a short pause, though, seemingly as though she's leaving the thought there, but -]

actually
is it cool if i lock this? just our talk here i mean

[givemewings]

[Did she figure it out? Or...]

Obviously it’s sad.



I’m on anonymous, so if you want to lock it, be my guest.

[earrdrums]

[She hasn't figured it out just yet, no. Fortunately for Mukuro.
And it takes her a second or two to actually lock it, she needs to actually figure out how to do it, but soon enough -]

okay well
this gets out to no one got it?
i've got a lot of friends here that don't need to know about all this.

but i wanna say that i get it, you know?
the feeling of "am i just gonna poof if this world doesn't want me anymore"
just with an existentialist overtone like "am i even the real me" and that kind of junk

i can't really offer you too solid of an idea about what happens when we leave cause i'm dreading that myself
but i can at least say that if you're worried about it, then you should focus on really living it up while you're here rather than thinking about what's gonna happen when you're not
treat every day like it's your last and all that jazz
that's what i'm trying to do, anyway

[Unfortunately for Mukuro, she's actually one of those friends Jiro didn't want this getting back to.
She just felt pretty certain that this couldn't be anyone she knows...]

[givemewings]

[wait what the heck? Mukuro feels bad that she accidentally manipulated Jiro into telling her this.]

The real you? I’m not sure what you mean

It’s a relevant cliche, but not one i’m certain i can ascribe to...i’d just like to know the score so that i can plan accordingly

[earrdrums]

[Hey, it's not like she meant to. It probably doesn't help that she's gonna get more of this out of her, either.]

you know how there are people that have done the world-hopping song and dance before, right?
back in the world i was in before, everyone kept saying we were some kind of temporal clones
like that world didn't really steal us out of our worlds and timelines like this one did
it just "copied" us.

that's what i mean
like if this world decides to kick me out, where will i go? obviously not home
any version of my world out there already has a "me".
but that other world didn't really take people, it just made copies of them
so i wouldn't go back there either

[Never mind that she translated this for herself out of Kaminari's hodgepodge explanation of what the Midoriya back there told him.
She trusts any Midoriya of any world to not lie, that's good enough for her.]

i've kind of been dealing with this on my own for a while now. my friends have plenty of their own baggage, they don't need this, too

but that's what i mean. i get how you feel.
no matter the reason, the idea that you'll just stop existing if you're not here anymore is scary
so that's why i'm saying you should do what you can to ignore it you know?
