[Four revived-but-not-completely-healed Corvi and a bitten-but-not-bleeding survived Lynx coming back from the Arena. Everything is terrible and everything hurts, but at least we got memories.]

[Collapse on the sofa]

[helping with all the patching up things 8(]

[TPK + horror of violent first death + DGM revival issues = a very docile Persephone, holding still and letting him treat her many bite wounds.]

[yeah, keeping quiet most've the way through...]

... fuckin' Judge should've a least did it right for once.

Haunted doesn't care about that sort of thing.

No, she doesn't. Bitch'll get hers, though.

Mm. We're going to defeat them all. [Doesn't sound too into revenge planning right now ._.]

[that's okay. Royal will help me out with that 8|]

... you're gonna be okay.

I know. There's no other choice but to be okay, being broken by something like this isn't allowed.

I didn't say it wasn't.

Just letting you know. It's not okay that it happened and ya don't haveta be okay now. But you will be, eventually.

[Reaching for Bond's hand, dragging him onto the sofa. IS CUDDLETIME NOW.]

[jkhfldjs o-okay, allowing tiny-girl to hug on him. will just be doing the awkward. pat on the back kind of thing for a moment before settling]

Bond... You understand, right? Knowing there's a difference, but being unable to not compare these things to what we deal with at home...

[... aw jeez. that sorta thing.]

Yeah... I get that. Just telling yourself "This ain't home, the rules're different" just don't always help.

It's completely different but it feels just like...

I fight monsters called akuma. Our enemy, the Millennium Earl makes them by... Once someone dies, he appears to their closest relatives and asks if they want to bring them back. And then he binds their soul to an akuma's body, and has them kill the one that called for them and wear their skin so they can hide amongst humans. Resurrection has always been... It's scary, thinking about that power and it being used on us, on me...

[... oh jfc. stinks of demons and demon-soul-dealing]

Jesus...

No, I get what that's... my world. We got demons. Kinda like those akuma, but they claw their way up from Hell and hop rides in people's bodies. Make them do nasty, terrible things. Some demons... they make bargains with people like that.

What's dead should stay dead. It's not natural...

But it's not this same in this place. You're not a monster. You're still you.

Even if it's hard living without them, bringing someone back only causes more trouble, it's pain for everyone around them... But I'm so glad we're not dead. It's against everything I've ever learned, when someone dies at the Order we burn the body and don't even tell their families to prevent another akuma being created, but... I'm so glad.

[okay, full on hug getting because, damn can't even remember yet how it works back home...]

Be glad. You got reason to. At least in this place.

[All the hugs for Persephone]

I don't want to ever see it happen again.

... I'd be lying if I said you won't. You know that.

[god, I wish I weren't ;;]

But Corvus and Lynx... we're here for ya.

...I know. But, even if you say that, I'm going to fight as hard as I can to make sure it doesn't happen.

Damn straight. Goes for all of us.

Right!

... this your first time with it, huh.

I've seen... I've seen everyone come back from after dying in a game, and I've seen revivals before, but... This is the first time I've seen anyone on the team actually die and be unable to do anything, it's the first time I've died...
