Jingyi, who on train is more often wrong than right in what he thinks he's understanding, takes that in and reflects on it, breathing out in a sigh. He blinks, and a silvering of light at his crown and behind him presages the return of horns and tail; transformation on a small scale.
"Right," he says, "We do." A confusing amount of them, when their worlds, cultures, expectations all stretch in different directions, and the overlap's not always obvious, or doesn't always lead to the same conclusion.
He gives it a few moments of quiet, partly because it feels like it needs that, and partly so he can think. "So... what does that mean? The without help part of disappearing?"
Stabilised to... stay? If the train would keep tracking their souls when they die, here, if disappearing is akin to death, wouldn't Tidus get caught in a hideous loop of disappearing then reappearing on train? He frowns, rubbing at one of his arms and looking worried. Not just due to an overactive imagination, but trying to get what those words really mean. What part of Tidus's world makes disappearing without help a normal thing?
