@RestoredRenais 'I shall not see you ever suffer again.'
Those words were comforting, but they did not help the conflict in his mind. He intended to use his second chance for good, as he had done before...
But with all the pain he caused, did he deserve it?
"Thank you, Eirika..."
@RestoredRenais He has his own opinions on the matter of his resurrection... but they won't stop him from returning that smile.
"Regardless of how it happened, it's unexplainable. The dead are not exactly supposed to spring to life like I have... we've both seen what attempts to do so lead to."
@RestoredRenais "I understand. You all risked your lives venturing into those ruins to defeat the monsters within. Finding me alive down there was just a coincidence.
You're both just as brave as ever. I'm glad to see it."
"Neither can I. I don't exactly know how, but a few months after you struck me down and stopped the Demon King, I awoke in the Lagdou Ruins."
Does she know of the people who have returned to life from the ruins and Tower?
@RestoredRenais It's the one we have, and it's more than I could have ever though to ask for."
He honestly thought he would just be... dead. Forever. Without even knowing it. Every new day is a welcome surprise.
@RestoredRenais
"Eirika..."
It's hard to think of the words to say. Standing in front of her after disappearing for months, only for her to show up in Askr too. It's... a lot to process all at once.
"It's good to see you again, my friend."
@RestoredRenais There are... certainly a lot of distressing outcomes across the multiverse, Lyon has seen that already.
But still, Eirika is focused on their reality. He should be too. It puts a smile back onto his face.
"Yeah... I like this one too. I don't care if it's not the best ending.-
@RestoredRenais That's... probably good enough.
"In Askr, heroes from these other realities can be summoned. As a result, I've met Ephraim's and Erika's who had different experiences to you and your brother."
@RestoredRenais "Ah... it's difficult to explain but I'll do my best."
A deep breath. How was he going to do this.
"It's called a multi-verse. Multiple versions of the same reality can exist, where different events occurred. There are multiple realities where I was never found, like in ours."-
@HerShiningLight "That is not my intent! I just want to understand your logic! As it stands, it's backwards!"
A frustrated sigh.
"Why do you condemn others for doing things you're actively doing, like exposing their shoulders? It's hypocritical."
@HerShiningLight "Ah, thats-!? Not my intent! Not my intent at all!"
He's just going to turn around and face away from her while speaking now.
"You call me crass for looking, but you're the one who has revealed them in the first place, for all to see?"
