Lev/Lyubov is a lot of things, but strictly rational, in the sense their husband would be, they are not. They appraise Jean, and then, with a bluntness that’s too forward and naked to truly be cruel, they say, “oh, thou wert dead before you came here, nu? Thou wert in Gehinnom, tossed about in the Catapult of Souls.”

They say it as a statement, not as a question. After all, it would explain an awful lot about Jean, the horrible place they come from and all the blasphemy they keep talking about like it’s totally normal and only to be expected. They rather refuse to entertain the thought that any part of anyone’s World That Is could be so nakedly nightmarish.
