[He runs over his part of the conversation in his mind, and looks at her nonplussed.] ...I wasn't. ...Do you have dead people trying to save the world where you come from? [She did say something odd earlier about him being still alive, as if there was another option...]

[castrationfist]

Don't you remember what I said about Heroic Spirits?

[she is pouting now.]

[cloakand_danger]

You said they could be summoned to fight threats, or one another. You never said anything about them continuing on after death.

[His definition of 'spirit' seems not to include 'ghost', or at least not to prioritize it.]

[castrationfist]

We're spirits. Former humans or human-like, whose existences were so notable that after our deaths the world removed our souls from the cycle of reincarnation to be able to fight off threats to the world or humans after death.

[cloakand_danger]

[Yuan is clearly a little startled by this revelation.]

...I didn't know. That's not at all what the spirits are where I come from.

[But another thing stands out too:] 'The world of humans'? What about the other races?

[castrationfist]

No, no. The world or humans. Sometimes, humanity faces a threat of extinction, and sometimes, the planet faces a danger that could kill even it.

What about the others?

[cloakand_danger]

It's the same thing, in the end. [He shakes his head, annoyed.] ...Why only humans? They're as bad as the elves that way, only thinking of their own kind. You're saying if elves or half-elves were in danger, but not the rest of the world, no one would come to save them?

[castrationfist]

... Well, I'm not sure what kind of elf you're thinking of, but we don't have those.
