yeah yeah “character comes back wrong” and all that

but instead consider. character comes back right.

something went wrong and now they were missing something, sort of, and its not until they die and are brought back that theyre whole again.

like yes they and everyone they care about still has to come to terms with the trauma of them dying. and yes, theyre not quite the same person they were when you met them.

but theyre themself, in a way they truly havent entirely been in years.
