"Can't say it isn't always deserved," Jade scoffs. "I certainly shouldn't even be here."

Both literally and metaphorically. She should have been dead at the bottom of the Red Sea, lungs filled with saltwater.

"But, well... Maybe there's something I can do about what ails you. Somehow."

Jade isn't one to believe things happen for a reason, but the fact that Kaede is the first communicative ghost has to mean something, right?
