Oh no! Not at all! I quite enjoy this place and the lovely people in it!

However, I used to know someone who returned home and later came back before leaving for good. He said that this world was like the memory of a dream, not quite real.

[He looks to the flowers, musing for a moment.] Which do you believe to be the worse nightmare, Miss Susato: the awful torments one's subconscious can conjure but waking to a world that might not be perfect but at least you can be content with...or the pleasant dream of a pleasant little town with good and interesting neighbors that ends with you waking in a world that is designed to do nothing but torture you for all eternity?

[Because in Alastor's mind, the latter is far, far crueler. A false hope, a fleeting happiness. When he'd first arrived in Hell, after his bloody debut, he'd dreamt of home only to wake up to eternal torment.]

[His sleep schedule became far, far more infrequent after that.]
