...Ehehehe! No, but see, I think you missed the bit where they cry on him or whatever, and he comes back into snowman because the people who loved him most needed him.
(Licks some frosting from his face, still smiling... but the smile has softened. It looks almost wistful, the hidden eyes keeping it from going full-on into sentimental territory.)
Maybe that was the Haypimonster movie where it involved crying, I don't know. Regardless... It's an important element that Frosty did not stay dead. He had to be a constant for the children, a rock, even if he was knocked down for a while. Even as he had to leave, he would be back on Christmas Day. It was his promise to the children that he could not break, even with the loss of his life.
...That message is far-fetched, of course, but sometimes it's helpful. In some intangible way, it is good.
There was more dead where you came from?
…
(Twirls a strand of his hair on his finger.)
You're not familiar with the term "shinigami", are you?

I stopped watching because I was too sad.
I didn't realise he could come back.
I used to think I could bring people back but that was just rewinding the pictures.
They still had to go to the place where they died even when I warned them.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?…
(Sits up and rests a hand on her shoulder, giving her a small smile.)
Heh... It's okay, movies are confusing like that. Sometimes people in them do come back. It all just depends on the movie you watch. That's why I like the funny ones, heh! None of that stuff ever happens, or at least not to where it ruins the fun. There's actually one called Hot Fuzz – I really love Hot Fuzz... At one point, it really looks like a lot of people died in a bloody shootout and chase, but then they all get up at the end and are okay... Heh! But they do still get arrested for what they were doing.
...Gods of death, essentially. I wanted to see if you were one. But since you don't seem to know them, and the ones who seem to know them best are the shinigami themselves, it's very unlikely.
(Looks down at his bony hands.)
...And it's just as unlikely that I've somehow become one.

-She touches the hand on her shoulder-
I'm sorry I yelled.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?(Keeps it there, firm and gentle. His smile is firm and gentle also.)
You don't have to apologize, Gracia. I messed up and made you upset. Being yelled at doesn't get to me, anyway– I'm used to it all. My job is to help you stay happy and safe, and you can tell me however you need to if I'm not doing it right.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019... I'll try hard not to yell. From now on no yelling. Yelling is... for dumb bums.
-She stifles a guilty laugh-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?(Is about to comment on all that unsanitary dandelion-gobbling, but realizes it's futile. The dead can't catch germs.)
...I think it might be helpful, until we get to the bottom of this undeath thing, to collaborate. My name is Nate River.
...Eheheheh! That's a good one, "dumb buns", I'll need to remember it.
(Ruffles her hair gently.)
And alright, heh, if you say so. I am fine with you no matter what.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Wide determined eyes-
And I'm with you.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Uh... darn it! His voice comm’s turned off...
-A metal kangaroo’s tapping at his ear as he hops around the main room-
... Always trying to go off his own... What a pain!
