[In the short time after the hallucinations faded, Neil had taken to hide out somewhere on his own to stew in his guilt and exhaustion. Sleep teased him before taking him down into horrific nightmares, both extracted from his memories and concocted from his imagination until he wakes up... three hours, three minutes, and three seconds later.
However, he's not in his hiding place. He's in his rotted out room and a shadowy figure is lurking in the door as he rubs groggily at his eyes, the stick from Eos laying across his lap as it had been when he fell asleep.]
Whossat?
[A low, evil chuckle sounds as once more, Ali's face steps into view. However, this time Neil's not the only one who can see it.]
Oh no... I'm not being fooled again, you're just one of my friends, my family, or one of the other passengers. I'm hallucinating again, or I'm dreaming. Yes... that's it.
[And yet, he still grips his stick as he gets up off the bed.]
You're crazy, you Gundam pilot. You're fucking insane. That's going to be the end of you. All that's left is to kill the rest of your family while you watch, helpless as you were as a child.
[Neil's face contorts in rage, unable to stop himself from charging to attack. But as he swings, Ali catches it easily and smirks as he winds back and punches Neil in the gut, doubling him over as he falls to his knees.]
Y-you bastard. You're him! You're really him!
[Still a little winded, he slowly gets back to his feet and abandons his stick in favor of a fist fight. No matter how many punches he throws, they're either dodged or have no effect on him. After having done nothing to attack back since his first punch, Ali caught Neil's latest attempt and used his free hand to throw one of his own to his face, propelling him backward and down to the ground as he trips. Before he can even get to his feet again, Ali's right there in his face.]
Maybe this once, I'll let you go before your so-called family.
[And before Neil can even utter a single curse, both of Ali's hands wrap tightly around his neck. Still exhausted from the days he had gone without sleep, he struggled but failed to fight him off, soon going limp as Ali laughs maniacally, letting go of the body.]
[Respawn in three... two... one....]
[His body vanishes from where it had lay momentarily at Ali's feet as Neil reappeared and woke up on his bed, perfectly fine. An evil grin stays in place on Ali's face.]
So... the Gundam pilot is back for another round. Well, who am I to deny him some fun?
