"Well, I'm very much dead back on my world," Koumyou says it so very casually, like he says most things to most people. He takes a drag and blows another smoke ring up at the ceiling. "So if I wasn't here, I imagine I'd be reincarnating into someone new right about now."

But.

"But I have someone here who likes me, so I'd like to stay 'me', at least for now."

Until Devero's tired of him, at the very least.
