[Someone has finally fallen out of bed and directly into a spectacular hangover. Damn, how much did he have to drink last night? Obviously not enough, since he's feeling it now. He's tempted to stay right where he is until his head stops pounding, but after a while he realizes that things aren't going to get any better until he drags himself out of bed for some coffee.]
[Wherever the coffee is around here. Oh, yay, he's not in that weird winged place anymore. But he's definitely not home, either. Not that he can muster the energy to care just now. All he wants is some coffee. Failing that, someone or something to put him out of his fucking misery.]
[... Lucky him, he finds Ken first.]
[Ow. Annoyed face is annoyed!] You don't have to yell, y'know.
[Something here is not right at all, even less so than usual. What the hell is that look for? Did he miss something? What did he do this time? Why is there still no coffee?]
[Whatever gave you that idea, Yotan? And there's no coffee because the world hates you. Also it's a good thing that Ken wasn't actually holding the flowers he was to be delivering because they would've gone crash all over the floor. As it is Ken takes a step or two backwards, still looking like he's seen a ghost.]
[Okay, this would make more sense if he was actually awake, but he's just going to have to improvise. Out of habit he twists his head around to take a look at himself, and finds nothing out of the ordinary... And actually, that's odd. The wings he had are gone.]
Shit. I... Maybe we both are. [He frowns at Ken.] What's wrong?
Ken. I don't know if any of this is real anymore, but... Look, I'm not dead, okay? [He feels worse than dead, but he's pretty sure that's an indication of still being alive.]
[And yet Ken is still freaking out. Looks like that didn't convince him. Since he can't back up any farther, he settles for sliding down against the wall until he's pressed against it and crouching on the ground.]
[Whoops, there went the lighter. Say what? Lalala, totally playing it cool. Seriously, dude, calm down.] I think I'd remember something like that. I mean, you kicking my ass? Like that's ever gonna happen.

[He backs away farther and--whoops, inconvenient wall to bump into. don't you hate it when that happens?]

[It's past time for a cigarette. He's going to fix that now, keeping an eye on Ken all the while.]
What makes you think I'm dead?

I killed you.

It did.

Then how am I still alive? Usually when you kill people, they stay dead.

I'm sorry.
