"I'm sure it's something people here have been working on. Seems like a lot of people would want to go back. But hell, doesn't mean it's impossible just because they haven't done it yet. We could go back and tell all our worlds about this place. Help them prepare."

But that seems like even more of a fantasy than the rest. Can they go back despite being dead? Is the fact that the lanterns can sustain a sort of non-life a feature of this world only, or independent of it? Would Law want to go back and finish what he started, or is it better if they stick together now and make a new life away from the world that despises Rosinante for the nature of his birth? Law must miss his friends dearly and if an opportunity to go back to them should arise, Rosinante would want him to be able to go - but what about Will and Mary?

With a sigh, he lights a cigarette and fixates on that instead. It tastes like nothing, too. Nothing is satisfying anymore.
