[She can feel his nervousness, little psychic twinges that needle into her brain, and decides to stop them. She leans over a bit, setting her free hand on top of his. She's fine with contact. Really.]
It's...fine. It's just the past. It's over, it's done. We were reborn in the modern day. The story...well, it goes on, though. The Dark Kingdom, what we called them, reawakened in 1992, and so did we. Our powers woke up when we were 14, and we managed to defeat and destroy the queen and her generals, as well as the demon. [She huffs a laugh.] We gave our lives during the battle to empower the Moon Princess with our magic, and she destroyed the demon forever. And revived us, in the end.
[Which should have been the end of it, but things kept happening. She'll spare him the whole story though, and she finds herself, breathing much steadier.]
More enemies showed up in time though, more powerful ones. Dark gods, monsters from other universes, beings from the past and future. We got stronger, and we defeated them time and time again. I'll tell you about them some other time, if you like, but last year was our final fight, as far as we know. We defeated one last enemy, and died in that battle as well, but we...can't...truly die. Not so long as the crystals we draw power from remain intact. That's why death is really not a new experience for me. In myself, and others.
[The hand over her face drops, resting on her knee, squeezing until her knuckles go white. She hates feeling exposed and vulnerable like this, but she trusts him. He won't take advantage of her, and he gets it. He's empathetic enough to know how hard it is, thinking on the past.]
I'm...not upset by death. My whole story is just steeped in it. I guess I'm just...tired of seeing it happen to decent people.
