[beyond goes quiet for a full minute after cassel finishes recounting his death experiences. each one is upsetting, disturbing - no one should remember their own death in so much detail.
and there's that word again - safe. cassel had said to beyond, i want to make you feel safe. beyond doesn't believe such a thing is possible, and the description of being crucified doesn't lend any help to the contrary.
but the fact remains that cassel's been unflinchingly honest with beyond again, leaving him with that certain rattled feeling, and beyond thinks maybe, under the circumstances, it would be acceptable to give a little honesty back to the boy. maybe it will help calm the unrest inside of him to share another small piece of himself.]
I didn't know. [when he died. it was a complete surprise, for him. it's a tiny thing to offer, but it's more than he's given to most he's met.]
