Sorry. I was just thinking about what you'd said before. I didn't mean anything by it.
[Except perhaps to discourage her own line of thinking. A newly risen Marian would be a little girl again, and maybe not exactly the one she knew. Camille might not get the chance to see her — it could grant her wish and leave her stuck here anyway, while Marian wandered around Wind Gap wondering where her whole family ran off to.
And if she did see her...Camille shakes her head.]
Forget it. My train of thought's going in circles. Maybe we should head out.
In general, holy magic works with the deceased person's permission. But I agree, those who have been gone do not always wish to return. I knew a woman once - she was killed, and her husband spent many years mourning her, until he asked for a holy man's favor and had her brought back to life. But even though she'd agreed to it, in a sense - having been gone so long, the world and being a living person no longer suited her. She was lost and purposeless.
I don't think the other side is actually so terrible. It's only terrible to be here, longing for someone there.

Well, no, we don't always get a say in it.
