[ You have no idea how much Edel wants to wince at this. Oh yeah. Yeah. ]

Are... are you well?

[ video ]

[patternprophet]

[You'll have to give him a moment to answer Edel, as he's having a bit of trouble focusing. Everything's coming to him at once, but eventually he manages to realize that the seal's on.]

...I don't know...

[The response comes out in a breath. Things are starting to even out but something still seems off.]

[apathycary]

If- If you were attacked, you should seek immediate medical attention! Do you understand? I don't know how this world works, but it's always advisable to make sure you're... [ he pauses, calming his panic slightly. ] ... you're well and good.

[ video ]

[patternprophet]

[A little bit stronger now, since he's finally regaining control. Breathe through the pain, that's what he has to do.]

I was attacked, but...[Did he die? He's pretty sure he did.] I died. I was killed.

I'm guessing you must be alive, if you're talking on this thing. [ She frowns a little, pensively. There is a genuinely questioning tone to her voice, and she hopes she doesn't sound tactless. ] Is that... surprising?

[It takes Leoben a moment to answer, mostly because he's trying to think of one while his body is trying to remind him that he is alive while the rest of him is pretty certain that he died.]

It is. I was certain that I had died.

[eventhegood]

[ Her eyes widen considerably. Of course, that was the implication of what else this man might be if he wasn't alive, but to hear it is a little shocking anyway. ]

You died? [ Can this world bring people back to life? The notion seems absurd to her. ] Well- are you feeling alright, now? [ ... slowly, carefully (even though she's already being a bit nosy as it is): ] Why are you sure that you died? Did something happen?

[patternprophet]

Yes. The last thing I remember is being attacked, by someone.

[That's a lie. His last memory is of pain and suffering but if we go back one memory, then it's being attacked.]

[claim_my_place]

Sure looks that way.

[Asch thought he heard some shuffling in here. He observes from the doorway, arms crossed over his chest.]

But you weren't five minutes ago.

Action;

[patternprophet]

[Leoben is finally starting to come to his senses now, as he's managed to breathe through the pain and realize that he is alive.]

Asch? So I did die...I thought so.

[Leoben looks tired now. Because means that everything he felt in the space between life and death was real.]

Action;

[claim_my_place]

[A grunt, followed by a slight nod.] That guy with the monster. Though what I want to know is why the locals didn't put a stop to it.

[After a bit, Asch paces across the room and peers out the window.]

Any idea why you were targeted?

Action;

[patternprophet]

It does seem strange when there's a violence ban.

[There's a pause as he doesn't really want to think about it but realizes that he probably should.]

None that I can think of. I just remember it happening.

[Tsuna looks plain exhausted on the video feed, definitely not in the best of shape. he tries to muster up a weak smile]

Y-yeah, you are. How are you?

[patternprophet]

Better than I was earlier. [Especially since everything is finally starting to calm down and he can focus again.]

What about you?

[reluctant10th]

I'm fine.

[he wasn't one of those just killed after all]

Just tired.

[patternprophet]

I can tell.

Did you...fight him? The attacker?

[video]

[fangirlinggray]

Yes, you are.

[a pause.]

How do you feel?

[video]

[patternprophet]

[Being told that he is alive is a comforting thing, no matter how many times he hears it. Still, it takes him a moment to find the right words because he's not sure.]

Alright. My strength is returning.
