The reveal makes him bristle, because he can understand having your foot halfway in the coffin, but to return from being a full ghost? Impossible. Not only impossible, but unforgiveable- returning from death goes against the very laws of nature. ]
With your parents' ghost portal...?
[ whatever the answer is, he's sure he's going to hate it ]
It is. The first time, when I was 14. I died the rest of the way at 15. And now...technically, I'm not so much "alive again" as I am just possessing a body, but I'm basically stuck in here. With a pulse and everything.
[ He's not really sure what to say about that. The very thought makes him feel itchy inside, the same way he felt when he first opened his eyes here and found himself... basically possessing a body, with a pulse and everything. It was weird, in that familiar sort of way, but he's been a ghost for far far longer than he's been alive. ]
Reigen could help. He's an exorcist, so...!
[ presumably? maybe? he can separate the soul and the body without destroying him? ]
[ shakes his head ] It's already on. All it can do now is take you from one realm to the other. And even if it wasn't, all it would do is make me deader.
No. That was the point. Everything was collapsing in on itself. There wasn't any "going back." Not for me, anyway, not anymore. I existed outside of any timestream. And the universe...really doesn't like that.

[ really he feels like he's just been cornered by whatever this cyoa dealt with. who could've done this!!!!! ]
I've been a full ghost for over ten years, ever since I was 15. The whole...being half-ghost and alive again thing? That's a recent development.

Seriously? That guy's a hack. He couldn't exorcise his way out of a paper bag if he tried.
[ then, sobering: ]
And besides...I don't have a choice. Me, as I am...I would destabilize and disappear completely if I were separated from this body.

What about the portal?
[ make him half and half again, instead of ... idk 10-90 ]

That's what he said about us too. That we'd exist outside of time, and never be able to live again.
[ So.......... are they like Danny now? Just inhabiting a flesh prison liable to fall apart at any time? Rita's not going to like that. ]
