That's true. Though our standard practice back home was to work in mobile medical teams rather than be escorted as such... I was solely accompanying an offensive warrior right before I got here, but that didn't turn out so well.
Ah! You mean the time I got taken hostage! [ ...he looks a little too happy about that ]
Well, the actual hostage-taking part didn't work out the way they'd intended. But I actually think everything ended up turning out really well afterward!
Well, some of the same people were involved. But the person I was accompanying as medical support isn't one of the two who had taken me hostage. Though you could say that our relationship was a bit strained, since he'd tried to kill all three of us during that earlier incident... [ they're just about there! ]
No, I think they were mostly pretty normal. Well, people would tend to make various threats from time to time, but that was one of only two times I can think of when someone was actually going to to kill me.
Well, maybe I misspoke... I'm pretty sure it's been imperiled a lot of times. It's just that those are the only ones I can think of where someone was targeting me, specifically, with death as the specific goal...
I suppose so... more or less. Though I guess I've never been quite sure whether they really can take people from after they're dead, or if they just take them from the instant beforehand.
Oh, no. Well... sort of. Erm, that is, I think I was wounded fatally... and then appeared here. So I'm not sure if I died and then immediately came here, or if I was brought here right before I was going to die.
But, um... Putting that aside for the moment, I'm also from the afterlife. So technically, you could say that I've... always been dead?

Do you often get escorted to places, Yamada-san?
no subject
It depends on exactly what you're asking, I suppose.
...
No, I think the answer is probably "from time to time" either way.

I think I would say they were... mostly entirely unrelated.

I actually didn't.
That's what I meant by it not turning out well.

OMG are they actually going to have this conversation...He doesn't look surprised, exactly, but just curious.]Are you referring to the bad habit our hosts have of grabbing people willy-nilly from various points in their personal timelines?

He amends, a little apologetically:] An 'after'life usually implies that something came before, no?
no subject
I was actually born there, though. So I wasn't really "dead," but I've never been a regular living human, either.
