[ she has little love and care for murderers, but she also thinks suffering is for the living, not for the dead. ]
It is a power granted to me. [ she touches a peony hanging out in her hair. ] I can conjure a guide of some sort like a flame or imbue an item significant to the dead as a way to call and guide them.
How interesting... [ he wishes he could borrow some of the people here and take them home, sometimes. ] Is it difficult? In a place like this, I imagine they are so far from home. [ it's a long way to guide, but maybe the distance isn't a physical thing. ]
The distance may be an issue. It is a distance normally, as if you must cross an ocean on the strength of your own wing. I cannot say how space will affect the journey.
[ it is something both physical and metaphorical (spiritual? soulful?) in her world. ]
[ these are questions she is used to hearing, in one way or another. usually with less multiverse and with less space in mind, but it's not as if the living are made to know what the afterlife is like. ]
It is why it isn't difficult for lingering regrets and wishes to keep the dead from crossing.

Then I will give the dead all my thoughts and well wishes.
[ ordinarily, he might be a little less gracious than she is for a murderer, but that's why he's not the exorcist here. ]
But it is usually possible for you to send off souls...? May I ask how?

...An ocean is a very long journey. [ even thinking about it as someone who can breathe in water. ] I can see why they would need a guide.

I can see why you are so proud of your ability. What difficult travel our dead have ahead of them...
[ my god this is emotionshare. he's sad about it, genuinely. ]
If we can make it even that much easier with our well wishes, I will be thankful.

I do not know just how much it will help, but it will help at least a little.
[ if not the dead, it will help the living. ]
