[Orlando had turned on the video first, finding the idea more natural, even if he's using his real (real?) body instead of speaking through a sim. But the idea of talking about this face-to-face, face-to-face with strangers, made him freeze up. Death is a pretty personal thing, especially your own. So he switched to voice, trying to give himself a layer of distance. Personal as it may be, he'd still like some answers on this.]

So... [There's a pause as he takes in a deep breath and lets it out as a sigh. So much for a strong start.]

How many of you are dead? I mean, died in your world, but...came back here?

It can't just be me, right? [He tries to make that last part sound like a joke. It doesn't really work.]

"Continued existing"? [That's a specific way to put it.] Do you mean ghosts or something like that?

... In a manner of speaking.

There was one man whose spirit remained even after his body had died, and he'd split his time between a girl and stuffed doll so he didn't get permanently bound to either. There were also two men who died, but their will to protect their loved ones was too strong for them to pass on, so they were reincarnated into pixies instead. Plus another who was resurrected with some kind of mysterious drug just as he was about to die.

[ basically he's seen some really weird stuff ]
