I don't think permadeath is a thing in SSSS either, at least not for the main and support casts. I'm fairly sure Minna even confirmed that one once upon a time. (And having it happen in canon... sucks. I mean, in the Silm pretty much everyone dies, but not everyone dies dramatically on the page - although the ones who do, oh my. Still not the same as seeing it graphically rendered somehow. I'd be very upset about that one, too.)

Or maybe people should just write it. And by people I mean me.

*fingersteeple* Yesssssssssssssssssssssss. :D ♥
