[ yeah the unfortunate part is that nico actually trusts danny and is kind of half-waiting to see if this'll blow up in his face while also going "well maybe he gets it." so. he shrugs. ]
Not in the slightest. [ and he does sound sure about that. ] Of course it hurt to see her disappear each time, but I would have regretted not trying more. [ ... ] I even tried bringing her back a different way. But by then it was too late and she'd already moved on to choose rebirth. I couldn't have saved her even if I wanted to after that.
[ ...which...complicated. ]
But I did find Hazel, and that's...I don't regret that either. Even if you're not actually supposed to bring judged souls out of the Underworld.
[ yeah it'll be hysterical if danny slams betray on him.
anyway he doesn't rush him because. like. it's a heavy topic? it's been a heavy day, period, and he's pretending to look over jars of peanut butter to give himself something to and give danny space to figure out what he wants to say.
whatever he was expecting, it wasn't that though. ]
I think that depends. Were you purposefully trying to find them? Or was it more of an incidental thing of "if I come across them, I come across them"?
[ again. lots of questions!! namely what and when, but...maybe it doesn't matter. ]
...unexpectedly, I assume. [ ... ] To answer your question, I think maybe the better or worse still depends further on if you would be able to stay with them when you found them. I think it might be worse to find someone and have them ripped away from you again.
It's hard leaving them behind. Especially when you know you have to, or that they can't permanently stay. And it's not like it really gets easier, you just sort of figure out how to manage with it because what choice do you really have. You know? [ a little bitterly, maybe. ]
...but I am sorry. Losing people's always unfair no matter the circumstances.

Danny nods to this and just keeps staring at the snack shelf silently for another few moments, debating internally. ]
...I never did find anyone I knew as ghosts. I could never figure out if that was for better or for worse.

suddenly he thinks maybe there is something much worse going on here, actually. ]
...what's going on for you? [ "why were you searching? where were you?" ]

I guess it's probably for the best that I couldn't find them, then.
