[Okay, solid point, murder not an option when it might cost someone their most well cultivated power. Murphy squints to think about it. Maybe a mindset change? He's making a thoughtful face, mottled eyes tracing ideas in the air as he lets Ryo catch his breath.]

Yeah, that one's tricky. But man... You really can't kill what's already dead. And I am very much dead.

[He decides not to mention why he was scared of zombies, because Ryo saw the mess of his torso they left for him. Alright. He has to think about it.]

Like I said. It's not bad. It's really not. I mean, death abilities in general, not the whole murder thing. If I'm right, and what I'm feeling from you is some sort of connection or outreach? You might be their last chance to communicate. You have no idea what it's like to have someone with their one little struggling braincell look at you and say in their own unique way, "Oh thank god, someone finally understands." I hated people. I still hate them sometimes. But that's something that can make the hardest person give a damn.

This doesn't have to be curiosity. This can be your chance to understand. You can see past that space where people are just someone's tragic memories. And then if you're wrong, you're just wrong. No loss 'cause who's gonna care if you graffiti a red wall with more red.

[He gestures at himself with a loose handflap.]
