I c-can't believe...a bunch of...losers...killed me! (Shadows ensconce the PCD. Yet, through them, there are glimpses of black gloves and a black coat.) Axel, th-this is - (The woman grits her teeth and tilts her head back. The color of her hair is striking - it, more than anything, shines through the darkness.) I blame you! You betrayed us!

...I don't know what happened, but no one has killed you. You're alive.

Try again.

If you were killed, how is it possible that you're alive now?

Something intervened. I don't know the details.

"You don't know the details"? You have no idea, do you?

How should I know? I just arrived.

[checkmychainyo]

[...Fair enough. Perhaps. Still, it seems impossible that the Animus could have resurrected someone from the dead. He hasn't gotten that memo yet.]

Hm. How do you know you died? What if the Animus or the scientists simply healed you as you were transported here?

[light_n_ing]

I was dying. The shadows were swallowing me. (For once, she sounds almost solemn.) It was annoying. I had a lot more to do and that damn hero - (She bites her tongue.)

...Nonetheless, you were healed somehow. Do you remember it at all? [Worth a shot, anyway.]

[light_n_ing]

No. I remember Darkness and then...being here.

[checkmychainyo]

I suspected as much. I can only guess that the Animus want all of us as intact as possible.

[light_n_ing]

For their little games.

[checkmychainyo]

Exactly.

If they can heal to such an extent, it affirms just how powerful they are.

[light_n_ing]

It's impressive, but power isn't everything. (Maybe.)

[checkmychainyo]

Perhaps. It's difficult to know a way to counter them until the Animus actually appear.

[light_n_ing]

We'll have to make them come out. Everyone has a soft spot.
