[ Rei hears his dry comment, listens to him as he speaks.
She even stops when he addresses the fact that she may never be able to go home again. Quiet, silent, her mind wanders over to her children and husband. Careful as she thinks of them, with love and appreciation. If she were missing, it wouldn't change anything between them. Rei is certain of this; if anything, perhaps Enji would be lost as to what to do without her.
The air is damp, and it is evident that it will surely rain soon. She can hear the sounds of living creatures scittering around; Rei wonders if it is so bad to live the rest of her life here in this strange dream. Wonders halfheartedly if the tiny seedling is here to judge her livelihood based on this question. That maybe he is messenger of God, and she is to be judged based on how she speaks. ]
That might be for the best in the end.
[ IThis is her reflective understanding. That there is nothing she can give to the world after she has birthed all she had. Nothing she can offer her children, any more than the little she gave. If this is her Hell, then it is a far kinder place than she was prepared to be in.
Moving forward, with that statement placed between them. She goes silent. ]
