24. Punishment

Teaser: In which the Captain discovers that resurrection is a punishment, not a blessing.

CHURCH INTERIOR Captain, Ranger, Priest

[FRAME 1]

Captain: Are you saying resurrection is actually a punishment?

Priest: Let me ask you a question, and don't take it the wrong way my brawny friend.

[FRAME 2]

Priest: Did your wife suffer before the end?

Captain: She screamed herself hoarse and thrashed in her sleep.

[FRAME 3]

Priest: And was death not a mercy? Would you wish her to suffer so a second time, had I offered?

Priest: The Hero has died countless times and has barely even begun his quest.

[FRAME 4]

Priest: He has become so inured to death, sometimes he chooses to die rather than walk back here for healing.

Captain: Wait, you can heal people too?

Priest: Yes but you couldn't afford it.
