[ He thinks about Hans' words for a moment.. they make him sad, really. ]
..No, Hans. They must be in much better places than here.
I want to be out there, with Razzat. I don't want him to be trapped in here anymore, and I don't want anyone else to be, either.. Like you, or Cuthbert.
...oh. I just thought...I know you love Razzat, and so, well, um, I thought you'd like him to come back so you could be together...I'm sorry, I suppose I wasn't thinking straight. I'm happy here. What scares me is people leaving, and...I kind of forgot that I'm weird like that.
No, no, I.. I understand. I would very much like to see Razzat again.
..But I want him to be happy, too. I don't think he was happy here, and if he got the chance to go home, then.. then I'd rather he be there. Somewhere that made him happy. With his friends. [ He's very, very upset by this line of conversation, but he's trying to keep his voice steady and not let Hans know.]
..I can understand if you're happy, Hans. I'm happy that you're happy here. But if I had a choice, I.. I want to go home. This place is.. it isn't what I want. It's scary.
But that's.. that's just my personal preference. Don't let it make you sad, okay?
[He looks pretty worried and upset, but he offers a small smile]
I understand that, Zetsurin. I'm sorry. I pray for you and Razzat to be together again somehow. I have been since he left...I hated to see how hurt you were.
...I'm sorry I mentioned it. I didn't want to reopen the wounds. Sorry.
I thought we were dead. That should make Hell - or Sheol, or whatever - eternal. So people leaving made next to no sense anyway, but people are supposed to be able to earn their way out of Purgatory and Hell, aren't they? But coming back doesn't make any sense at all.

...I think I should just abandon Catholicism altogether. It really doesn't seem to apply here.

You're a Catholic too, then? Wait, are you that medieval German kid Woody mentioned?
