Even if you close your eyes, the memory still hurts.

[Messaging her travel partners isn't the first thing Diana does upon waking up, but it's pretty high up on the list, behind "finding out where she is" and "having an emotional meltdown over their deaths."]

Hi, Junpei. I'm back. You're back too, right?

[She saw his messages on...their obituary, but maybe it was all a trick.]

Yeah. Of course I am. Mold's not the worst thing I've come back from.

[Just the grossest. And the first to have left a noticeable effect. But that's not important. Not really.]

Are you okay? Any idea what you lost, yet?

[There's a bit of a delay before she answers, as she debates on how best to answer that question.]

To be honest, I'm a little scared. I've never really died before.

[Something about that statement feels strange, perhaps not quite right, but she can't put her finger on why.]

But I'm not hurt. I'm not really sure what I'm missing. I guess something behavioral, or something in my memories.

[... It's probably best to hold off on the few jokes that come to mind at the idea of it being a memory.]

A little?

[It's more than a little/i> bit scary, when it's happening. If he hadn't been thoroughly terrified those first two times, he wouldn't be here now. So.. Yeah, he gets that.]

Eve said you're over by the school. I can get there in a couple days if you want someone around.

[It's way more than a "little" scared, but she doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.]

Just a little... The actual dying was scarier.

We could meet halfway! I think I'm pretty close to one of the maintenance shafts.
