*Points at Stella*

You should be thanking Stella, she did most of the heavy lifting this time.

@Yatagarasu

*Turns to look at her*
Then thank you, Stella.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Correct.

@Yatagarasu

Well... thank you. I didn't expect to be able to see everyone again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Ready for your friends to see you, now?

@Yatagarasu

W-wait. You didn't tell me your name.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Sounds good.

*Walks over and sets a hand on your head. After a second or two, deep black hair has grown down to your waist*

Might be a bit too long, but it's easier to cut than grow. It's set to grow at a normal rate from now on, so it'll be up to you to style it.

@Yatagarasu

That's what I was going to ask for. Thank you.
*Flexes my new hand*

Yours. We recreated it from a purified version of your bone. You had some toxins and other issues in your old blood, so we had to make some new.

@Yatagarasu

Then black. Jet black. So I never forget who I am or the legacy I came from.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I did. Do you have a preference?

@Yatagarasu

*Pauses to think about it, glancing up every so often*
Whose blood runs in my veins right now?

*Turns around to face you two*

Thanks, Stella. Anyway, to answer your question, it's a bit of a long story. The gist is, your friends wound up here on accident, so I had someone follow them to the fight. They won, you got hurt, so they and your body were brought here. We made you a new body, and put your soul in it.

... Aside from the hair, which I wasn't sure what length or color you might want, so if you want that taken care of, let me know. We also put a helpful little implant in to keep your soul in better condition than it was in when it got here.

@Yatagarasu

*Reaches up to feel my scalp, and makes an expression with a blend of shock and disgust*
I, er, would like hair, yes. You said color?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

To give you privacy. It's one thing when doing an operation, or recreating a body. It's another when it's complete and healthy.

@Yatagarasu

Okay, so... what happened? How am I "alive" if I turned into a human puddle?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Yes, both unkind and effective. Thank you for saving being mean for last, though.

@Yatagarasu

*Finishes putting on the clothes*
Why are you turned around?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Or if you're so sure this is all fake, we could bring him back and you can ask him yourself. Or you could get dressed.
