Hello, I hope you are all doing well. My name is Hu Tao and I was curious.

Is there anyone here who might be interested in learning how to do a burial? Or perhaps might know a thing or two about it?

Please do let me know, I want to see how many people might help me restart my business! I promise that if you join, you'll be a discount on whatever coffin you choose!

[And there she goes.]

[There was a pause or two as she stared at her screen. It was odd, she was so used to hearing how her friendships were always one sided. She knows that she could make friends here but it was strange to hear it being confirmed.]

Oh? I wasn't expecting you to be so honest with your answer. I have to admit, I thought you would find me bothersome.

...

Hold on. Why would you think that?

[localweirdo]

[Ah yes, there was a rather long pause on Hu Tao's part. As much as she didn't want to be honest about her own feelings, she knew she had to. It was only fair when Megumi was being so earnest about his own.]

I'm afraid people don't take kindly to me talking so openly about death in my country.

[mahoraga]

I remember you telling me that.

And I remember telling you they were small-minded people. Do they think not talking about it is going to prevent it from happening?

[localweirdo]

More that they are aware that it will happen but it's not something they want to talk about. Which is a shame because it needs to be discussed as it will prepare them one day.

[Pause]

Although, I suppose that makes me the outlier doesn't it?
