It seemed there really wasn't.
For a moment, the staff member genuinely looked as if he were trying to recall the traffic regulations, but in the end, he gave up.
"But it wasn't like this when you came earlier. You only just put that in, didn't you?"
Still, he didn't let it go. He quickly tried a different angle.
"You mean I didn't look like I was about to die earlier?"
Unfortunately, Fu Qian didn't seem to understand.
Well, he couldn't exactly say that... The only difference was how soon he'd die.
The staff member was at a loss for words again. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to say that Fu Qian had looked perfectly healthy at the time.
"Then why did you do that?"
He still wasn't giving up.
"Simple. To emphasize that I'm about to die and help you realize it."
Fu Qian answered without hesitation.
"And what happens once I realize it?"
This apparently had something to do with him... The staff member looked like he was about to lose it.
"Once you realize it, you can understand why I need to go to the Holy See."
When it came to keeping a character consistent, you had to make sure things followed through.
He'd said earlier that he wanted to go to the Holy See. Now he could bring up the reason while discussing something else, which would make the whole thing seem much more natural.
And why did being close to death mean he had to go to the Holy See?
It had to do with faith. Wasn't it perfectly normal for someone nearing death to seek something spiritual?
There was also the explanation of euthanasia: when someone was on their last legs, they could simply lose themselves in boundless pleasure or something.
