[Ha. He can joke about it now, but there's a little too much edge in it to be anything but honest sentiment underneath.]
But that's part of the point. It forced me to change - and what's the point of sending someone back to life if they're just going to repeat the same mistakes? It takes a lot of power to bring someone back; I can't blame the creators of the Game for wanting to be sure that that second chance goes to people who will do something worthwhile with it.
[That's how he's made sense of it for himself. He doesn't need to understand whatever nonsense there is about the power of soul or whatever is going on behind the scenes, the cosmological perpetual-motion machine that is the Reaper's Game and how it refines souls. Bringing people back to life is expensive, so second chances should go to those who aren't going to fuck them up.
And he would have absolutely fucked his up if he'd been brought back to life without that experience. So he gets it.]
