[Feeling warm air on her skin, she stirs and opens her eyes, noticing she's in a church of all places, on a pew.]

...A church...? How...? I could have sworn I was in... that cave, but... when did that change? I thought I was--

[Taking a look around, Lucrecia frowned.]Wasn't I dead before? I don't think this is even possible. I should be part of

[cohibeo]

[he stares for a long moment, not quite believing that she's here, she's here with him, and feelings of happiness and absolute guilt begin to mix violently in him, making the beasts clamor loudly. he tries to push it to the back of his mind, and raises a hand to reach out to her, before slowly dropping it back to his side.]

... Lucrecia? [her name is said very softly, as if he's barely daring to breathe at the moment.]

[crescent_falls]

[Lucrecia knew that voice. She knew it very well. She could always hear it, no matter how quiet he was. Slowly, she looked to him.]

Vincent...?!

[cohibeo]

[Vincent pauses, simply staring at her for a while with a torn expression, before finally the tiniest of smiles works its way onto his face. he's not exactly happy about her apparently having died, too, but that can be asked about later.]

I... yes. You... [another long pause, before his cool and professional side gives in, and he walks over to pull her into a loose but loving hug.]

[crescent_falls]

[He was smiling? That was something she wasn't sure she ever saw him do! The shock showed on her face, as she wasn't sure what to say to that.]

...? I...? [Her question was put on hold, as he hugged her. Another surprise she hadn't been expecting. After a moment of confusion, she smiled, and put her arms around him as well.]

[cohibeo]

[he simply holds her for a long while, content, before moving away. he keeps physical contact though, one hand on her shoulder.]

... I'm glad to see you. Not... in this way, but... [shakes his head.] There is a lot to explain about this place.

[crescent_falls]

I knew it would happen eventually. I didn't think I'd end up anywhere else but the Lifestream, however. It's... strange here.

[cohibeo]

It only gets stranger. There's... another me, here. Another Vincent. Two versions of one person can exist here at a time.

[crescent_falls]

Another... you? How is that...? [She frowned a little, looking at him oddly. He knew her, though, so... it had to be the one she knew from before.]

[cohibeo]

I don't know, but there is. You'll probably get a chance to see him yourself sometime.

[he pauses, before tilting his head a little, a slightly upset look on his face.] Lucrecia... how did you...?

[crescent_falls]

I... yes, I'm sure I will. [Seeing the upset look, Lucrecia gave him a worried look to match his own, until Vincent asked his question.] How did I die...? [She smiled some, just a small one.] After the experiments. After... he was born. I ran, and... then I died.
