How about this? We can talk about it like a storybook. Think of... the world I was in like a book. We had to... use some technology and also some magic both to be written into that book. To be recorded into it.
But who I was fighting had the power to mess up the words and the writing in the book and even erase them.
[ she's explaining this like you teach a student history instead of the background to her death. ]
[ Ah, they perk a little at that with a nod. Books they can understand. Easier to wrap their head around, given all the reading they did before, to find answers.. reading from a script..
And the magic doesn't throw them off either. They listen closely, quiet, thinking of her words... ]
[ Well, it is Heaven so.. they all have died some way or another to get here but... to become erased, they think of their own country, they think of the people that were consequently erased there along with it one day.
Siffrin grows quiet, staring to the reflections, and they wonder how Elysia can be so... herself, despite that. Still so warm. ]
..When this is over.. are you going to go back? [ Redemption here to return back home. Or move on to Paradise. The two choices Heaven provides them, as far as they're aware. ]
[ everyone here is dead, and everyone is different levels of accepting about it. ]
Yeah. I have to stop her. If I let her go, she's going to infect the rest of the world, the world outside of that storybook, and I can't let that happen.
I told someone I'd take care of it.
[ and elysia is someone who hates breaking her word. it's one of the few things that actually makes her angry. ]
[ There's hesitation in their movement, their touch featherlight and gentle, as if giving her the option to move it away - but they reach for her hand. A simple brush of their gloved fingertips. ]
It's something you have to do no matter what.
..Is there.. any way to stop her? From erasing you? [ Again, they don't say. How does one actively avoid being erased? The idea of someone like Elysia being erased... (..No. You don't think about it.) ]
[ SHE IS SOOOO CUUUTE siffrin just like oh if that's how she wants to do it that's fine
Despite it, they manage a small smile, a puff of a laugh escaping them. ]
I'm sure you will with your strength alone and backup. [ Their support isn't much.. if they could do more, they would try but. They're a puppet stuck in their own never-ending loop, they aren't useful anywhere. ]

Of course. I have to beat her first.
[ she winks and exudes confidence. she's sure she can win. ]
I'm planning to get backup when I return.
no subject
Still, they look briefly back, before to her with a small smile. Beat her up, huh. Not kill? ]
Backup would be good. [ Safer. Should assure it doesn't entirely repeat, right? ] Then, when the time comes.. I'll be sure to root for you.

This girl as a sweet as a flower will surely win with your support.

[ she may be dead now, but her abilities are nothing to laugh at.
any support from her friends are boon to her. ]
no subject
[ After everything? How could they not? Everything she's said and done for them today alone? Of course. ]
no subject
[ trust and faith, both things that aren't always easy to come by. ]
no subject
[ It's just said curiously... wondering.. is that really all Elysia would ask for? Truly? ]
no subject
[ trust and faith are the foundation to love. ]
