If he can? It's then that Luna remembers that Jeremy might not have heard about the fact that people come back afterward. It's almost an embarrassing oversight, given she'd had to be informed on the same point upon her own arrival a few weeks ago. "I think we'll be able to. Even if we're killed here...they have ways of bringing us back. I don't know the details, but that's what I've been told."

Whether that's good or bad depends on how one feels about dying repeatedly, of course. Personally Luna finds the idea exhausting, but it seems not everyone thinks so. Maybe Jeremy will be one of those people who appreciates the extra chance at life; or maybe not. Either way, it won't hurt to be just a little optimistic. "If we meet again, I hope it's in better circumstances."
