[ catch him peering out at the lighthouse with a frown! ]

That's... pretty small for a tower, isn't it?

[purities]

[also peering at the lighthouse, but for other reasons.]

It's a lighthouse.

[assuming tower = school to him now.]

[outdistanced]

[ looks at mizu. looks back at the lighthouse. ]

Oh. [ definitely did not think about that angle. ] I didn't know those were still around.

[purities]

[slowly nods...]

It's my first time seeing one like this.

[outdistanced]

Doesn't look like it's working, either. Then again, why would they need a lighthouse here? Do boats come into heaven?

[purities]

Hm... Perhaps it's a decoration. Made to be useless.

[outdistanced]

Pretty big for a decoration, isn't it?

[purities]

[shrugs]

Fitting for a god's domain.

[outdistanced]

Maybe. But even if that's the case, a lot of decorations have lights. Not having one on a light house is kind of boring.

[ staring at his phone. ]

What do you think they mean by "order of operations" for something like this?

[purities]

Most like a contingency.

[though, mizu doesn't sound sure about that.]

It's curious, though. They didn't know we could die, but they still had a plan for it.

[outdistanced]

I never thought heaven would need something like that at all. They probably didn't, either. So maybe the plan is just something that God came up with?

[purities]

It sounded like something preestablished. If their god came up with it before any of this happened, then I have questions.

[outdistanced]

If they don't know what's going on now, I don't think they'd have answers for why they weren't told before this. Maybe just enough to explain how she died.

[purities]

Maybe not. But they'll have to start looking into it if they're at all worried about our morale, like they claim. Then there's the matter of how she died...

[outdistanced]

I think they'll already know a bunch of people won't like it if they come back with nothing. And they do really seem to care about us, so...

[ he wants to believe in them okay. ]

It could've been some weird accident. But I heard everyone got locked in and fell asleep last night...? That's weird.

[purities]

Yes, that's what I've heard as well. A number of us were trapped at the beach last night. Others, at the spa and mansion bathrooms.

[outdistanced]

Why were so many of them in the bathroom, anyway? [ grimaces ] I didn't even know it happened until Yves told me. I don't understand - how do you get trapped at a beach?

[ what the hell is going on in heaven ]

[purities]

A barrier. Invisible. None of us could see it, but we all felt it.

[outdistanced]

That's insane. Why would there even need to be a barrier?

[purities]

That is the question, isn't it?

Something clearly went wrong. But as to what or how...

[purities]

Do they? Decorations don't tend to be lit on fire, where I'm from.

[outdistanced]

[ does a double-take ]

Who said anything about fire?

[outdistanced]

...That must be what they're looking into now. None of it makes any sense, right? We shouldn't even be able to die in the first place.

[purities]

How else would you produce light?
