[... That feeling. It's a familiar one.]

Huh. Wouldn't have pegged you to be the academic type.

Thrilled.

Now that we're nice and impersonal, wanna tell me just what the hell's going on?

...Are there side effects to dying? [somewhat avoiding the right answer]

[... oh]

You didn't think that there wouldn't be any penalties to dying in this place, did you?

I didn't think someone could come back to life either, so I don't know.

Well, at least you're alive now, aren't you? That's all that should matter, really.

... Don't think too hard on it.

That's true...Do you know if all the penalties are same?

... From what I can see, I doubt it. What did they take away from you?

I can't feel anything so I guess my sense of touch. It's like my entire body is numb.

That doesn't seem to bad. If anything, if money were an issue, you'd save a lot of money on heating costs.

[A pause. Okay, so, maybe a joke wasn't so appropriate. A huff, and the sound of something shifting.]

... It'll come back.

[the joke barely registers in Keiichi's mind]

It had better...I might go insane if it doesn't. [mentally adds literally]

[A pause as she considers this. Okay, so she may not have known the guy for too long, but 1) he seems decently intelligent, 2) They do share some... similarities, if you will 3) ... she knows what that's like. It drags for a bit, before she makes her decision.]

... When I died, they took away my sight.

[Keiichi was shocked that she died and he didn't know about it and then heard what was taken]

...That must have been hard for you. [doesn't really want to pry into how she died]

[A snort.]

The sight is a researcher's greatest asset. If I hadn't gotten it back, I probably would have lost all academic credibility.

But that's not the point here. It's back now, and... I think I appreciate it more than ever, really. So I think... it just takes a little loss to realize just what we're taking for granted.

[So did not come out the way she wanted it to. A pause. ]

... That's all.

[he understands a bit of what she said]

You're right, thanks...Good thing you got it back then, huh? [he sounds a little bit better]

[Lets out the breath she's been holding. This whole having a normal conversation thing is pretty damn hard. :/]

Trust me, you'll be just as thrilled when you get your senses back. I've kinda forgotten how good it feels to appreciate the simple things. So don't sweat it, okay?
