So.

As I understand it, we don't die here. People...appear in a town with their wounds healed, or illness cured, or the like. Or so I've been told.

...What happens to someone who dies of old age, then? Would they die over and over again, or...become young, or... [He waves his hand around. Mysterious mysteries.] How it all happens aside, I can't imagine what would take place. [...] Has it, ever?

As the oldest arrivals came about three and a half years ago and our average age is surprisingly low, that particular issue has not yet become relevant. We'll see in twenty or thirty years, I imagine.

Three years isn't long at all. [...]

...You suppose anyone will stay here for that many years? If three and a half is the very oldest yet.

It's a possibility, though I hope it'll not be the case for most of us. I know that certain people wish or wished strongly for that.

[...like Walter...]

If we do, I hope we do get our peace somehow. I'd not want to end up living forever as a decrepit old man.

We need not become decrepit, no matter how much time passes. My uncle is ancient, yet he still enjoys excellent health.

[Allow him to deliberate ignore that said uncle is a) not human, and b)probably dead right now.]

[...Oh.]

Well...sooner or later, the body gives out somehow. We all die, after all.

[tact what's tact]

We do indeed. But I'm not certain this world is aware of that, to be honest.

[Walter thinks about that for a moment.

...Yeesh.]

Now there's an odd thought if ever there was one.

I've been here for over three years. I've seen local elders, local young couples, local children. Yet I've never heard anyone mention a birth or a death, beyond the disappearance of that reporter last year.

[It could be that he's just not paying attention, but...]

There's graveyards, though, aren't there? Ramza and I went to Lavender Town while he was here...

The graveyard in Lavender was moved to that house a few years ago, when the tower was converted into a radio office. But the owner did not mention adding more graves since then.

[...fucking weird.]

What's in the graves, then?

The bones of Pokémon that died no later than two years before the first of us arrive. They had to move them all individually.

So...we might be the cause of that.

Of the lack of death here? Possibly, somehow, though I've no idea how that would work. Of the graves' disturbance? No, that would be human greed.
