[fishpanties]

[Alas, she has her hands full.]

This isn't a dream?

[pencilpremonition]

No, your death was interrupted, and you're here instead. You can't go back where you came from, since you died, but you can make a new life here. It's a second chance...don't waste it.

[fishpanties]

[CLEARLY I'M IN A COMA.]

[Nods, slowly.]

[pencilpremonition]

This place is called Thusia. I'll explain about it. You're gonna be okay. My name's Becca, I'm a priestess of Dellen.

Dellen's one of the gods here, there's a bunch of them. This is the shrine room, if you want to talk to any of the gods, you come here to go to their shrines.

...They're not like the gods from Sabra at all. They're good gods, they're nice to us. You don't need to be scared.

[fishpanties]

... I-I don't mean to be rude, Becca-san, but can you give me a moment?

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah? Take your time...

[fishpanties]

Thank you.

[Smiles, briefly.]

[You remember that guy who shot at you? Sure am flinging myself into his arms and having a big ol' cry with him.]

[pencilpremonition]

[What what what what are you doing no don't go over there oh fuck you did....

I WILL BE OVER HERE HIDING BEHIND DELLEN'S SHRINE AS SOON AS I SPOT HIM KTHX]

[fishpanties]

[They're holding each other tightly, almost desperately. And when her knees go out, he sinks down with her.]

[How terrible '-']

[pencilpremonition]

[I'm still hiding. He might pull his gun out.]

[fishpanties]

[You're probably going to be there for a while, then.]

[fishpanties]

[AFTER SOME TIME, when tearful reunions have wound down, Aoko remembers that she'd been talking to somebody else.]

Becca-san..?

[pencilpremonition]

[head pokes out from behind Dellen's shrine]

...That guy's dangerous, y'know...

[fishpanties]

Kaito is?

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah. He almost shot me once.

[fishpanties]

What happened?

[pencilpremonition]

He just pulled a gun out and started shooting at people.

[fishpanties]

… No. No, he didn't. He isn't that kind of person at all.

[pencilpremonition]

Maybe he was stressed or something, cause he did.

[fishpanties]

[shakes her head slowly]

No… It wasn't stress. If he threatened anybody, he must've been terrified.

[baww my bf]

But, I'm sorry if he scared you.

[pencilpremonition]

It's okay, I guess. A couple guys held him down and kept him from killing me.

[fishpanties]

He wouldn't have killed you.

[pencilpremonition]

I'm...glad you think so.

[fishpanties]

I hope you can come to believe it, in time.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah, I've already died twice and getting brought back isn't easy around here. I think I'll stay cautious.
