[The anger may have burned out quickly once he'd let it out, but that doesn't mean Ryo is calm. He feels a bit like he's vibrating, like there's electricity dancing on his skin, and he can't quite shake it. He's still upset - at this entire situation in general, and at the fact that Murphy is still offering despite everything.]

[He's able to rein it in a bit, and his voice is as measured as he can manage right now.]

Thanatos isn't going to stop you from dying.

[Sorry, Murphy, you're not Zagreus. Thanatos will just take you where you need to go once you pass on.]

[That imparted, Ryo turns Murphy's words over in his brain. He has a point, for a world full of revenants; having a speaker for the dead is a bit less important in Ryo's world where the dead don't talk.]

I'm sure you are, but...my world doesn't have revenants. At least, not the part I'm from. [There are stories about other lands, but as far as he knows, they're just that: stories.] The dead don't need someone to talk for them there. They're just dead.

[There's something else to be had there - that Murphy thinks his power might be behaving differently - but he hasn't quite processed that yet. There's been too much high emotion too quickly and he's still recovering.]
