No, just the opposite. Being there alive, I think...helped? I don't remember it ever being so insubstantial as when I was there last. Then again, I wasn't dead when I was there last, either. Simply...no longer in my own body.

[At least, for a time. These are unpleasant memories they're treading on, and having to reiterate it isn't helping. At least he's in a more relatively comfortable environment and state of mind than last time he discussed anything surrounding his corruption; there will be no breakdown. Just very audible discomfort creeping into his last sentence.]
