How would I know why I'm here? I just figured this was the afterlife or something. It's not like I can go anywhere else.

I... don't think this is the afterlife. It'd be a pretty weird one.

[ He pauses, long enough that Steve might think he's done talking — except no, he's not. Just... trying to figure out what to say, again. ]

If you can't go anywhere else now, why not make the best of this? Maybe you'll be able to go somewhere else after.

Yeah, easy for you to say.

[ grumble. he brings his other arm to rest over his eyes. It'd be nice if he could just get a nap in or something - maybe he'd feel better. ]

[ In Mark's opinion, there are very few things that are easy for him to say as of late — but he is not dead, he did not die, so Steve might actually be right on this one.

Well, shit.

He's quiet again. ]

I guess it is. I don't know what you're going through, or if you'll be okay. I can't.

The only thing I do know is that you're here right now, and as long as you are, then there's still a chance at something better. And... I dunno, I just hope you take it.

[ But he'll get up to leave now — that really is the best he's got. An optimism he has to cling to for dear life, too. Might as well try to share it. ]
