Hm. He is...alive. But disconnected from his body. He can't see. Where is he?

He can see now! There's someone talking to him. It's a bald man wearing black judge's robes.

"Do you know where you are?

"No, sir."

"You are currently in Pharasma's Court. Here we judge the souls of the dead that they may be sent to the proper afterlife."

Wow. Afterlives exist. Okay.

"Understood, sir."

"Does it sound to you like I am speaking in a language you understand, using words you are familiar with, at a speed you can follow?"

"Yes, sir."

"Do you understand that you had, while alive, the capacity to take actions, and that those actions had effects on the world and on other people?"

What kind of question is this?

"Yes, sir."

Gavel bang.

"The court is now in session for the matter of In re Konlad Litem."

Now there are a bunch more entities. There are seven of them, excluding the judge.

There's a yellow, but with wings, two black haired people with red wings, a grey, but with a snake's body? and no legs, a ball of gears, a humanoid with a crow for a head, and a dragon-snake.

"Your Honor, Axis does not think this petitioner is in this court's jurisdiction."

"They aren't administered by any gods and don't have any afterlife planes."

"He ended up here, so he is."

"Your Honor, this petitioner still comes from somewhere outside Pharasma's Creation. The Abyss requests a recess to perform fact-finding on the petitioner."

The Abyss actually sent someone competent this time! They look trained. The agathion isn't sure whether this will be for the better or for the worst.

"Nirvana concurs, so long as it follows discovery procedure."

Wait what's going to happen to him.

He's going to lose consciousness.

And then he's going to regain it. All the same entities are here.

"Your Honor, Hell would like to make the opening argument, if you would permit it."

"Go ahead."
