It's good to be alive. Again.

Is this an exceptional condition for you?

[deutschedevil]

No, I've only died and gone to Heaven the one time.

[He laughs.]

Lovely as it was, I'm hoping not to be back anytime soon.

[tothebone]

Ah? What was it like?

[deutschedevil]

I think it's different for everyone, how it looks. But to me, it looked a lot like New York, but better? No poverty, no grime. Still buzzing and energetic, though, just like I like it, I suppose.

But that's just the surface of it. There's really two major differences. The first is that everyone in Heaven is a genuinely good person. Which does not mean that they are boring! Far from it! But there is no fear, no hatred.

The other is ... you know how the sun is on a perfect summer day, yes? It fills everything up? In Heaven, instead of the sun, it's God. Radiating down and into everything.

I can't describe how that felt like. But ... I wasn't finished with things on Earth. So I was allowed to come back.

[He laughs.]

I'm sure that sounds crazy, but that's what it was like.

Is it very different to be alive again than to be alive the first time?

If she's actually smoking right now, Kurt is resisting the urge to teleport that cigarette away ...

[deutschedevil]

Yes, it is.

Once you've been on the other side, your perspective cannot help but change.

hahahaha, noooo. I just sort of pretend it's a lollipop stick. >_>

I don't know if I should say again or not, then. I didn't technically die, but I don't remember an awfully long time.

[Said with all the childlike honesty an eight-year-old can muster, naturally. But of all the things Sinthia could have said, this is by far the least worrisome.]

[deutschedevil]

I think that's a matter about which people might not always agree.

But you have woken up now, how do you feel about that?

[He wants to be able to assume she has loving parents who were thrilled. But somehow he gets the idea that isn't the case.]

[abyssum_invocat]

Very confused. This is not at all like where I was last.

...But I am finally alone. I don't like being followed around everywhere and the agents never leave me alone.

[deutschedevil]

Who is following you? Do you know?

[There's something strange about the child, but that isn't going to stop Kurt from feeling protective.]

[abyssum_invocat]

My keepers. They're agents of SHIELD. Because of who and what I am they say I need to be watched.

[Clearly they underestimated Sinthia's ability to lose a tail in a public place. She's very, very good at it.] They don't mean me harm, but they are very annoying.
