[stays quiet, but follows her :(]

[painintheneck]

[she is also quiet. once they get inside, she motions for him to take a seat and then takes the one opposite]

[crisscrossing]

[pushes his glasses up to rub at his eyes]

[painintheneck]

It's a difficult thing to experience.

[crisscrossing]

[opens his mouth to say something, then changes his mind]

[painintheneck]

It's been a very long time, but I can still remember my own death.

[crisscrossing]

... What happened?

[painintheneck]

To turn someone, you have to drain them to the point of death. Even though it was over five hundred years ago, I can remember the way it felt. It was my very last human sensation.

[she taps her nails on the table, thinking]

But to be able to come back... the way I did, or the way that you can, in this place. That makes it different from the true death.

[crisscrossing]

[takes a few seconds to absorb that, then snorts quietly]

I mean--it doesn't even count, right? Here, I mean.

[painintheneck]

Oh, it still counts. After all, it really happened. You went through it. It just means you get to go on.

[crisscrossing]

Nngh.

[painintheneck]

And you shouldn't trust every girl you meet.

[crisscrossing]

I... It happened before.

[painintheneck]

... Not the same person, I hope.

[crisscrossing]

N-no, but...
