*Still turned away with my eyes closed*

A doctor, at the moment. What about you? Who are you?

@Yatagarasu

*Grits my teeth*
I'm dead.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Not always. Each time is different, it seems.

@Yatagarasu

*With my eye twitching, bites down on my tongue*
Who are you!?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Me.

@Memory

Th-th-th-th-th-th-th-this!
*Eventually my vision focuses on you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

It is, yes. And, 'Arty,' if you can hear them and understand them, then you know your friends are... as safe as possible, it sounds like.

@Yatagarasu

*Heaves, blinking with full force every breath*
Y-y-you!

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Not yet, not unless she's in danger of hurting herself. Learning to move again is tough, after all.

@Yatagarasu

*Squeezes my eyes shut and holds it for several minutes to collect my thoughts*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Oh good, syllables. That's an improvement, good. Like I said, relax as much as you can. Your friends are safe, you're safe, you won. From what I hear, you were a hero, too.

@Yatagarasu

*An utterly concerned look stretches across my face at the word and I start tugging, trying to make my arms move correctly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Understandable. If you can process my words, relax. You're not in danger anymore, you're not being hurt anymore. The bad guy has been defeated, and your friends are safe and sound.

@Yatagarasu

*My eyes dart across the room, focusing on random people and objects as I struggle to form words*
Ah—I—

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

The usual things, mostly. If it gets really bad, I'll step in and do a full control to make the body work while the soul gets used to things. But that's both likely and hopefully unnecessary.

@Yatagarasu

*Inhales a bulky breath and screams at the top of my lungs*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Shoves into your stomach*
I said BREATHE!

@Memory

*Exhales and inhales sharply again, before my breathing pattern gradually normalizes*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Hey. Breathe. Breathe!

@Memory

*Continues staring*
