I wouldn't!

Dying is a natural thing that happens and you can't expect them to always be around. [Terezi has very complicated feelings about this. But at the same time, birthdays aren't really a huge deal for trolls. Nor are death anniversaries.] But we never had a huge reason to celebrate birthdays nor celebrate someone being dead!

It was pretty common if you weren't strong enough to survive!

[Being part of a family full of death and being tormented by ghosts, Misaki knew death was a common thing everywhere, regardless of world you're from. She's grown numb to most deaths but there were still some that still affected her.]

I knew I'd get an answer like that from someone. [She didn't sound upset but just indifferent.] I remember someone in the place telling me a similar thing from their world too. Do you know a...Kaya?

[Trolls just don't mourn. It isn't something that is a usual part of their society, so the fact that humans do is actually a surprising and foreign concept to Terezi.]

I don't know a Kaya! Was she a troll?

Maybe. She mentioned about having a talent for making wardrobes or something.

[Kind of boyish-looking too...]

The only troll that liked making clothes was Kanaya. Although I guess that both sounds familiar.
