The concept of it is quite simple, and yet Reynir is so stunned and so distracted by his emotions that it takes a few moments to settle in. Ami comes from a world which is like an afterlife - only it isn't any afterlife Reynir has heard of. What Ami is saying is that, rather than going to Tuonela to rest, that Tuuri had made it to Ami's world and been reborn.
It seems impossible, and yet here is the evidence right in front of his eyes. Reynir has seen how this dream place is strung together from memories. He knows that people can be taken from his world to other worlds, because here he is, and Lalli and Onni with him. Ami is so clearly something different from anything Reynir has ever seen or heard from before.
Both his hands are over his mouth, now, and he says, in a voice cracked with emotion.
"So she... she got another chance?"
To explore. To have adventures. To learn and make friends and spread that wonderful light of hers into the lives of others. It had always seemed too impossibly cruel, that a light as bright as Tuuri should be snuffed out so soon.
He can't tear his eyes from Tuuri's face, gone mischievous now, gods only know what she was plotting. Reynir's chest aches with a mix of emotions. Happiness for Tuuri, an intense feeling of missing her, confusion, hope, skepticism, grief...
