Everything seemed dark, frantic. He thrashed about, unsure if the vision that had faded from before him was a dream or reality. He had been holding a sword, and he killed a giant snake, but as he opened his eyes he could tell he was no longer before the strange man with the crowd at his back.

Instead, he felt weighed down by an odd liquid, which he pushed against as hard as he could. He was worried, what could have happened for him to end up in such a state? Was he dead? Did the man kill him? He started to shove and kick, hoping that the fact that he was still moving proved to be a good sign.

Finally he could feel the wolrd around him give way, his body sliding forward as he hit the ground hard.

"It's a kid," said Stove. "Oh. Hey. You shouldn't look."

"Oh, come on--oh," said Cara as the boy slid out of the cocoon with a gooey thud. She felt herself go red, but ignored it. At least, she didn't say anything. What she did do was grab a towel from Stove's arms and thrust it at the boy.

"Hi there," she said, smiling through her blushing and keeping her eyes firmly on his face. "You've just been born into Edensphere... I know you won't be able to remember anything, except the dream you just had. But don't worry... that happens to everybody here."

Things seemed to be happening rather quickly, and he wasn't sure he liked it.

There were people speaking, and for a moment he had thought that they were talking to him instead of about him. Then he realized that was not the case, so he started to feel embarrassed along with cold and naked. This was not how he imagined the afterlife to be.

"Oh, hello," he responded meekly, covering himself as best he could considering the feminine voice. "That doesn't sound comforting at all. So... this isn't Heaven?"

Cara shook her head. "Nope, not Heaven," she said, her curiosity piqued. What had his dream been of, that that had been the first thing for him to ask? "This place is called Edensphere. It's... pretty much a big tree." She relaxed a bit as he covered himself, although she still made sure to look at the top of his head.

"None of us remember anything when we wake up here, except for the dream we have," she went on. "And you won't remember your name, either... you have to pick a new one for yourself."

She paused, waiting for him to take that in before going on with the explanations while Stove just watched.
