[He's glad he's in the privacy of his cabin because reading that gives him a bit of a panic. Losing the memories of his family? The one thing that has kept him going this entire time? Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. A good motivator not to die, but Maes knows he won't be able to resist going out there and still exploring and digging into the mysteries of this place.

Dammit all.]

I haven't had the pleasure of being revived here. This process...how much do you know about it? Why does it eventually cause problems like that? Is it the lanterns themselves or something with us or the doctor?

I know a little bit! Maridel knows wayyyy more obviously, but apparently the reviving has to do with mechanically fixing the lanterns? So like, if you die, she puts your lantern back together, but the more times you try to fix something broken, the harder it gets. I guess the problems come from tiny mistakes or parts she can't fix... They tend to get worse each time you die.

Liiike with Winters, the thing with his arm happened way before he started losing memories. His memories went the very last time he died, before... Ok so the second to last time he died, I mean.

It's a bummer he didn't get to meet Maridel. :( I think she would've been able to maybe fix up some of his problems... She does that sometimes.

So our bodies aren't part of the process at all. Guess I'm still trying to process just how much influence these lanterns have on us, even beyond the side-effects we just experienced. I may need to chat with this doctor at some point. She sounds like the person to be asking these questions of at any rate.

Winters was gone before I got here, which sounds like a pity, I get the sense we would have gotten along pretty well.

Nope, no body involvement! I don't really know what happens to dead bodies around here, but they usually vanish not too long after people die.

Awww, yeah I bet you two would've really hit it off. :( He was a good guy. I miss him! There's still kiiiiiiind of a chance Dr. Solis will be able to bring him back at some point, but she's been busy with other projects lately.
