Every time a person dies, they only have roughly a thirty percent chance of returning, on average.
Rosinante knows this to be fact. He's tracked the deaths and the revivals since the beginning. He now knows it's also more complicated. Some percentage of those deaths that never returned were likely because the lanterns were unrecoverable, or too damaged to repair - like Dr. Solis' own lantern in the end. So he thinks, perhaps, this is why he's been so fortunate, for only once did his lantern end up in a truly difficult place. This last death must have been easy. His lantern wasn't too far out, and it shouldn't have been damaged badly.
These are the thoughts milling in his head as he becomes conscious, sitting here in front of the candle flames used in part to restore their not-quite-lives. He'll have to thank whoever is repairing lanterns these days next time he's back in the lab. Has to thank whoever found his, too.
Gods, though he hopes it wasn't Law. He'd gone out looking for him and then was overcome by the compulsion to eat, thanks to whatever the world eater had done to his head.
He lifts his lantern to look it over before looking around. Is anyone else here waiting? Did Law ever make it back from the hospital? Is Mary all right, having not seen him for a few days again?
And just how well was his lantern restored this time?
