I am still uncertain as to how you wound up in a hospital. The infirmary is ... not that big. [ to put it lightly. the rest of it doesn't seem to surprise her until he gets to the `reanimated bodies` part, and she frowns lightly in confusion ]
I believe my sister claimed that we have never had deaths under these circumstances. [ this is the worst correction, thanks, but she continues: ] Guests turning into monsters has never happened before. And we do not keep bodies in the morgue, for... studying or otherwise. [ she tilts her head ] Why were they so certain the... bodies they saw were for studying, exactly?
There are no cells in... [ but she shakes her head and brushes her skirt a little ] It is as I said, we have never dealt with guests turning into monsters previously.
Accidents. Incidents. [ she closes her eyes for a second and then looks back at lio ] Guests experiencing conflicts with each other is not new to us. You witnessed it yourself first hand that first week, didn't you?
[ she doesn't say what she would say, because she's composed herself and looks a little annoyed at the question ]
I have answered this before to other guests. We burn the bodies. Even without the transformations plaguing them currently, corpses are extremely hazardous to people's health if not handled correctly.
[Is she asking like. Philosophical questions of him right now. Lio's too fucking stupid to connect that might mean anything, so he takes it deeply, deeply seriously.]
. . . No. I suppose not. While we are alive, we burn, and when we have burnt out, we return to ash, back to the earth.
Master Blue is the one who does the research on the guests. We only know what is written on your plaques and what we learn from conversation. It is the Master's belief that it is better if we learn to get to know you ... personally.
[ she sounds like she hates that! and she does. getting to know people is disgusting ]
It is not metaphorical. I am Burnish. We can wield the power of fire through our bodies. Normally, I can hear it, but here, I am cut off from its presence. I don't know how you've done that. A Burnish does not stop being Burnish, without-- [Well. Turning to ash.]
Yes, a few guests have mentioned having trouble accessing their powers here. That is also a new situation. [ she hums a bit ] I do not believe them gone forever, at least.

We used to let guests decide by themselves, without speaking to one another. We thought perhaps guidance this time around would... help.
