hey there! of course Mai can tell Otonashi is dead, as he was permitted to keep his “I’m-basically-a-soul-from-an-afterlife” status, and he still has no heart so there’s that too. the latter may not come up but it’s totally still a thing just for your reference!

he’ll probably end up talking about the dead thing one way or another anyway, what with the way the SSS jokes about it and that kinda. rubbing off. just a little bit!
