"Well-- you wouldn't be the first one." Although something twists a little inside to hear John considering that prospect, even when Billy always keeps it on the back burner himself.
"... Me too. More often the longer we're here. Feels better than letting this place continue to chip away at me. My family-- I don't want to end up cracking like some of them have. Going mad and hurting people I might actually care about."
He gives a shake of his head. "But you're right. If we're bound here, nothing says we wouldn't wind up back soon after, or go to our respective Hells. I guess the only thing we could do is test it out, but-- we should probably at least try plan A before plan B, right? Whatever spells we're cooking up first."
He offers a more awkward smile. "Besides, the suite wouldn't be quite the same without you, John... and if you yell at me for being a sap, I'll feed you to one of these demons myself."
