I think death is only permanent here if it's done by the so-called Cultists that attack the Malnosso. It's why we can go out on missions. I don't think that anyone here who has died would be able to say it didn't feel right.

Regarding what was told to us, Bil told us this in a page to all of the residents here: " This benefits more than just the many, many poor souls born to this world. There are, after all, many people within Luceti and the world outside that simply have no home to return to. Returning to be dead is dreadful business, wouldn't you say? Imagine the possibility of choosing a new life after death, in some other new and exciting world! It may very well be a reality some day!"

As far as I understand, they can bring us here but they can't get us back- not immediately, that is.
