Kendo ran a hand through his hair, sighing.

"Sorry 'bout that, Vi. I really am."

His grin was back though, as he pulled a bottle out of the shadows.

"Thanks for paying my tab, by the way."

"Nope." The bottle was gone once again. "Hi Violet. I... This might sound weird, but how did you die?" Please, please, please say you didn't die in the battle...

(So sorry! Very busy day today)

Violet smiled as she quickly saw another familiar face, “Athena! You look younger then I remember! How’ve you been?” she asked as she reached for the bottle but was met with nothing. “How did I die? Kidney failure” she said with a shrug.

"Oh, phew. I'm sorry about that battle. I should have listened to you and the others. Is the City doing fine? And yeah, this place has a strange idea of age." The bottle hovered next to her. Just out of reach.

Kendo grumbled in annoyance.

"Let me drink, Athena! I haven't had liquor for two centuries!"

He pulled a hairtie out of the shadows, tying his long, golden-brown hair into a short ponytail. Out of his pockets came a pack of cigarettes. He took one out, stuck it in his mouth and lit it with a small purple flame, dancing on the tip of his finger.

"You're going to kill yourself again. And I don't care if it isn't possible here. You can have a controlled amount after it's deemed to be safe." Goodbye cigarettes!

Kendo let out a long-suffering sigh. On the side of his neck, a small device beeped. Kendo took note of it.

"Oh yeah. That thing."

With a flick of his finger, a arc of purple lightning zapped the device, and he took it off his neck quite easily, crushing it under his boot.

"Hate it when they keep me alive with an immortality device..."

Violet had lied about her cause of death, but she was somewhat telling the truth. “An immortality device? You can again here?” She asked Kendo while watching the device shatter. Her nose scrunched up at the smell of the cigarette smoke.

"Oho, of course you can."

Kendo shrugged slightly.

"Heh. You know how you came back to life here? When you die here, you go back to the living realm... but you have no memory of your previous life/lives, as you are reborn in a child, who obtains similar powers."

Violet nods, “I see. I wonder if I’ve been here before…” she thought while looking around. “This world we live in is too complicated” she said as she rubbed her forehead. She wanted to explore this place and it’s mysteries more, but if she died then what was the point?

Kendo shrugged dismissively.

"Before we continue this conversation, can we get out of this cave?"

Elle snapped back to reality, the blank look on her face slowly fading. She began to walk behind the three of them. Dying again meant losing your memories... that was strangely appealing. To start over.

Violet, Athena, Kendo. It felt like Elle was in a twisted dream. The real question was whether it was a nightmare. She felt like a bystander, an observer this time. Elle couldn't feel the emotions that had plagued her last time. She was objective. The smartest she had ever been.
It was never meant to be.

Kendo turned back, looking at Elle. His long hair swished with every step. He dropped back, falling into step with Elle.

"Hey. El. Why the long face, huh?"

His grin was warm, his eyes twinkling.

"You seem... different. Talk t' me about it."

She opened her mouth, and closed it again. There wasn't much to say. This was merely what she was now.

This was Elle.

She wanted to simply drown the hurt. And when she buried the hurt, she could think better. But there was no happiness when she did that. But happiness was associated with love, and she couldn't feel love anyway. Elle was strong, and her strength was defined by the fact that she was willing to make that exchange.

She couldn't explain it to Kendo. There weren't words to express that.

"My life was... different. That's all. It's... strange to be back here. With... you all." Her speech was strangely stilted. Halting. Confusing. Lacking her standard... eloquence.
It was never meant to be.

"Elucian, you okay?" Athena was one of the quickest to wrap her head around the whole thing. But it wasn't really that strange, with all the rumors she'd heard about the afterlife, being reborn was one of the less elaborate ones. And if you really wanted the truth, that day hadn't scarred her as it had Elucian. Yes, she was solitary in most of the ways she operated, she didn't look to cooperation as her first strategy, but she had friends. Quite a few of them, actually.

Kendo's scarlet eyes clouded with worry as his grin dropped.

"... El. ... Am I the cause of this?"

He spoke slowly, sounding concerned.

"Am I the cause of your unhappiness?"

"No." Because it wasn't Kendo. It wasn't even unhappiness. It was simply... emptiness.

"I'm the same as I've always been." She whispered. Elle wasn't sure who she was trying to convince: Kendo and Athena, or herself. "I'm just... better at prioritizing."

The mental clarity she had was astounding. Analytically, her intelligence could rival anyone. It was just the cloudy feeling she got whenever she tried to rationalize emotions. Her brain was in a haze.

If you don't feel, they cannot hurt you. She was the perfect weapon. Cold, unflinching. Free from pain, free from her past. The queen of logic, the objective monster.

Was she... no. Elle turned away, and began to walk back through the tunnels. She didn't look back to see if they were following.

"Elucian, wait." Athena ran after her friend. "You're not the same, you never were after what happened. And... I miss who you were. The fun, friendly Elucian. You're great as you are, but... Your emotions are gone. I can feel that. Whenever I'm around you, I can sense it. An emptiness where the emotions in your mind used to be."

Kendo grit his teeth as he grabbed Elle's shoulder, stopping her.

"That's my thing, El. You're doing the thing I used to do. Prioritizing my A**. You've cut your emotions away. Emotions are what make us human, El."

Kendo pulled a bottle and a pack of cigarettes out of the shadows. He popped open the bottle drinking from it. Liquor. Of course.

Athena was too focused on Elucian to worry about Kendo's drinking and smoking problems. She probably hadn't even noticed. Lucky Kendo. But in all seriousness, she was worried about her friend. Kendo may not be the smartest, but he was right. Without emotions, Elucian wasn't Elucian. Just a skeleton running on nothing but logic.
