introductions

It comes to you suddenly, at the end of an unravelling thread of thought. A sudden, piercing sense of wrongness stops you in your tracks and sends you tumbling through rapidfire questions that you realize you have no answer for. How long have you been here? How long have you been doing the same things, over and over, blindly going through the motions of a routine? Just who are you, anyway?

Questions beget more questions and answers prove illusive until you arrive at the only things you know for certain: the first is that this place is Purgatory.

The second is that you're here because you're dead.

Oddly, this doesn't feel like a surprise of any sort. You don't remember how or why it happened, but it did and that's that. It feels rather as though you've been slapped awake and everything around you has come into sharp focus. You're in Limbo, where you've been wandering since you arrived here in Purgatory alongside all the other mindless souls who are acting out what little they remember of their original lives.

Still lingering is that horrible sense of something being terribly wrong. It hasn't dissipated with your realization of the truth – if anything, it's intensified. There's no way to tell what it is, but there's something going on here.

Maybe you should investigate – or at least see if there's anyone else here who's had the same realization as you...

Hmm. That would make sense possibly, yeah! Though for me it was more like I just couldn't find anything relevant.

Maybe the books go easier for me because I was like, an avid reader when I was alive somehow? We'd need to see if there's books I can read and others can't for that to make sense, though!

It could also be that I'm just over-thinking things. [He shakes his head.] What kinds of books are relevant to our situation, anyway? Guides to the afterlife? I don't think anyone's gone before us into this place. [He hasn't met Rei yet.]

You liked to read? [Hope pauses to think, and eventually shrugs in defeat.] I guess I didn't. The idea of books isn't bringing me any flashes of nostalgia, like some other things have. Anyway, I don't mind following you to the library if you want to investigate.

Eh, your choice! I gave checking it out a go, and didn't get a lot out of it yet, but it's at least kinda relaxing so that helps soothe the nerves a bit?

I mean, there's still something up here, everyone I've talked to who isn't some kinda.. Something?... has said that much.
