It's not something one can figure right away, really.
[Filbo speaks quietly, as if raising his voice a bit is going to bring trouble to Zelgadis somehow]
Things hurt right now...but when the pain stops for a bit, one just...begins thinking about stuff. And it's then one can have an inkling. Until then don't really force yourself to think or do anything. It's only gonna hurt you more if you do.

[well. filbo said not to come but guess what? there's this fucking guy darkening his doorstep a few hours later. he'll just walk right in.]
Hey.
Hey.
... I could've been better.
[frowning.
but he'll reach into his hood and pull out... Aqua! she mews loudly.]
Brought someone who might be better company than me, if you want it.
[he can have cat privileges for a little while tonight.]

No, you really did great! It was...it was great.
[Never had a roommate before, but he liked the experience, really. And here's proof that Zelgadis is more than a decent roommate! He brought the cat]
You really underestimate yourself, Zelgadis. I know I said what I said there at the end, but...not gonna lie, seeing you again is nice.
[He sure is taking cat privileges, let's have them, grump yeah]

[he'll set Aqua down. she will run over to rub against Filbo's ankles and mew at him for attention.]
... I thought something was off about you this week. I was just... too caught up in my own head to think to say anything.

Yeah, things weren't great since...last week, I admit. Got a whole lotta things going on my head. Knowing that party was getting close was beginning to really wear me down.
But I dunno if i would have said anything even if you had tried to poke me. I mean, even before I was, uh, in magic booze stupor.
[For as much as he tries to be there for others, the thought someone could do the same for him baffles him, really]

Maybe not...
[There's an unspoken but there, but there's probably no use in pushing it at this point. What's done is done.]
... You're worried about the party?

Yeah. A lot. Hardly could think about anything else, gotta admit. I wasn't...looking forward to being there.
[And knowing himself, he was going to do his hardest to beat Satan in a drinking contest and then get himself back to life. Filbo doesn't hold back, trying to win was what he undoubtedly would do.
...but he didn't 100% want to go back to life. Not because he wanted to stay dead, but because he didn't want to resume the life he had]

Because of the party? Or because of the prize?
The prize. Gotta be honest with you, I wasn't exactly happy back when I was alive. But here in hell it's been...I actually enjoyed knowing you all.
So to go back to a life that would be worse than what I had before-- [What with him having lost the only person who did think of him as a friend] --after having known you all and how...how kind you all are, that thought really was beginning to hurt.
[That wasn't the sole reason how he ended up murdering someone, but it's undeniable to him that was a big factor.
Also, Filbo picks up Aqua, holding her carefully. Come here, precious cat]

[he folds his arms and listens. and nods.]
I'm not aware of any rule that says we'll have to return to our original homes. Perhaps it would be possible to go to... a kinder world, than the one you've known.
[meanwhile, aqua purrs and snuggles up against filbo.]
