That's one way to think about having a second chance after dying. For Atem, it hadn't been...it had been a different level, a minigame that lasted much longer than any of the others. But...Nanami knows she died, then. She must know.
He reaches out and gently takes her hand, and if she doesn't pull back, he'll squeeze it, gently. No more contact than that, but it's a grounding point, an anchor to their current reality. Her eyes are distant, and though Atem doesn't know exactly what's going on behind them, he can smell on her that it isn't good. There are dark parts of yourself that you can get lost in, if you end up in the wrong place, or hear the wrong words...and it can be very lonely to have to pull free of that yourself.]
It's fine to be here to have fun. That's a good goal!
