[midway]

[ Hello! He will peek in to see how she's doing...

Is she awake and resting like a good patient? ]

[fightolive]

[ She sure is!

She's even still in bed. As for her thoughts, they seem elsewhere, nothing to pick up on at the moment. ]

[midway]

Firefly.

[ Walking over to sit by the bed. ]

How's your head?

[fightolive]

[ She doesn't respond to Firefly, but she does look at him when he sits down. ]

... I'm... not sure.

[midway]

[ Worry. ]

Do you know where you are...?

[fightolive]

This is another part of Heaven.

...

Right?

[midway]

That's right. Were you taken somewhere out of heaven?

[fightolive]

I think it... was hell.

[Don't I deserve it?]

[midway]

[ He frowns. ]

Why would you deserve hell?

[fightolive]

[What kind of a question is that?]

That's... Where weapons should go.

[midway]

Why?

[ Just watching. ]

[fightolive]

The only thing I'm good at is killing.

[That's... right. It sounds right in the moment.]

I don't understand people, and I have no specialty... so where else should I be?

[midway]

[ Hm. ]

You don't remember who I am then?

[fightolive]

I... should.

[But she doesn't.]

[midway]

I'm Claude.

[ ... ]

And you've never tried to kill me. So I've seen you do plenty of non-murder related things.

[fightolive]

...

So what am I to you?

[midway]

A friend, I think.

[fightolive]

I'd like it, if we were.

[midway]

Then it sounds like we're friends.

[ Reaches over to briefly squeeze her hand. ]

Do you want to talk about what happened?

[fightolive]

[ Watches him do this, then gently squeezes his hand back, before letting go.

See? Her hands can do more than destroy. ]

It was... another life. It felt like it was mine... but I know it wasn't.

[midway]

[ Hehe. ]

What was it like?

[fightolive]

I was researching ways to get reliver's emotions back.

[ I'm... probably too stupid for this?. ]

Everything just seemed so perfect and normal. Except for... moments that seemed more real. Things I'd seen in my real life that disrupted the dream.

[midway]

[ help ]

I... see. You said it felt like hell?

[fightolive]

When I... rejected the dream. That was hell. I was so sure that's where I woke up.

[midway]

[ Frowning. ]

Were the others with you?
