[ Gorgug doesn't mind sharing about his death. It's all the awkward emotions that can come from it that-- should be nice, and, he does appreciate that Heather cares, but... it also sucks, right? The how of why he died, even if he puts it in very basic terms, it's how he would want to go out even now: trying to protect his friends. Or people. They weren't his friends back then, but he was trying to help them take out the corn monster.

But he is relieved anyway, when she stands up. Gives him that break from having to focus on it too much, when nowadays, it's just embarrassing. It's cringe. He doesn't want to be cringe in front of Heather, he's been cringe enough times at it is! ]

Yeah-- yeah. I wanna eat ice cream with you. [ ... ] Or, we did, so, we can eat ice cream whenever. And we can get told to save our universes, and we can have good times, and then have really bad times.

And if we ever die again, [ because of course he's still going on, putting a hand over his heart!, ] I'll act exactly how you need me to. You know... if you need someone who's used to people dying and coming back.

[ This, too, is Gorgug trying to make a genuine offer. ]
