And, well. Luca is definitely a little freaked out by the 'undead' part, and he does get up on his heckles a bit, he's trying his best not to actually panic. Because that's the first time she ever said sorry to him and even if she's undead and he's afraid of being eaten he's not going to throw that iota of kindness back in her face.
It just takes him two seconds to think of something to say beyond the 'undead' thing.]
I- I can't believe you tackled a man that large to the ground like that! I knew you could take me out, but I'm so much smaller.
[Sheila has gone completely still, shock visible on her face from getting outed like that — only to startle out of it when he speaks up. She quickly retracts her hands, leaning back a little as if to give him more space, and eloquently:]
[She just keeps staring at him, her expression growing more and more uncomfortable the longer he goes on. After a beat, she just scoffs and starts pulling herself up.]
You can just say it. You think I'm a monster, right?
But I haven't killed anyone, if that's why you're asking. The avatars have been taking care of me since we got here. They're not as bad as everyone else makes them out to be, you know?
[Luca, having only positive experiences with the NPCs.]
But that's good. I didn't know if that machine could make food for your diet too. And I didn't even think of you killing anyone until now, even if that explains what could have happened to Kaz- aaaaaand I'll be shutting up now.
Fuck you, I liked Kaz! And even if he was secretly a monster and deserved to die, I can't bite through bone and I won't eat people's buttholes! Those would have been on that table, you asshole.
[A LONG SIGH... Truly hate this is the last actual conversation they'll have. Goddamn it, Maple.]
Just get in the bathroom, Luca. I'm going to go make myself a smoothie and drink it passive aggressively, while you spend an hour in there and come out looking exactly the same.

Also, men cannot get married to men in my world. So I wasn't going to be getting married anyway.

Look, it's- it's very surprising! And it's not like the undead even exist in my world in the first place, I don't know how any of it works.

Um. This might be a bit personal to ask, but if you're a zombie then how are you eating? Do we need to acquire a body for you?
[Luca deadass about to ask the npcs for food for Sheila.]
