[ Ned honestly doesn't even know where to start. ] Sometimes when people die here, they stay dead and don't come back, like normal. [ He is thinking of Wallie. He doesn't want to let himself hope that it will be the same as it was with Jesse, that he'll show up after a week or two with absolutely no idea what had happened. If he starts hanging his hopes on things like that, he's going to go absolutely out of his mind ]

But sometimes they do come back. It happened to a guy I used to live with, and, uh... [ He hesitates here; it's not something he talks about much, not something that a lot of people know about - just him, Erik, Charles, and River. Even Daneel doesn't know ] ...to me. I, um. Died. [ He chews on the inside of his bottom lip, decides that is probably plenty of detail for the purposes of this discussion, unless she asks for more. ]

[ Though he and Lydia had found Wallie's body and he'd refused absolutely to touch it or go near it, he hadn't given the reasons why. But with her asking, now, he wants to be honest. It's just a bit peculiar, even now, revealing his powers to others, not knowing how they'll react, if they'll treat him differently after. He wants to let her process the whole I-died-and-came-back thing before he dives into an explanation of his unusual ability ]
