Now trying for an afterlife spin? His mind isn't keeping its story straight now. He shouldn't be bothering with all of this, really. Maybe he should just go along with it for once, pretend he really has been rescued and Dii really is alive and things can maybe be okay for a while longer.

Problem with that is that it's always more disappointing when he comes back to reality.

So the alternative choice is just to say nothing at all, wait it out in stubborn silence like he was at the hospital, but... He's a sucker for the people he cares about. So many sweeps, and that hasn't changed. So he replies again.
