[ yeah thankfully!!!! he seems, like. okayish. as lucid as anyone on a bunch of painkillers can be, at least, and the vibes aren't Awful, just tired and a little guilty and worried.
injury-wise, with his chest and foot bandaged up... well, the missing ear chunk and the jagged ring around his neck look like old scars now that the blood's been washed off. ]
Nah, I'm all right. Thanks. [ ... ] Did I hit you with the horn earlier?
...Yeah. Got sent to Richie's world, back when he was a kid. All of us were kids like him. Had these whole lives we remembered, thought we'd always been like that.
[ hm. she winces. ] It did seem as though his childhood was... rough, at times. But the wounds you incurred seem far worse than what I would imagine, if it were only that...
...Don't really wanna talk about that part too much while this emotion-sharing thing's goin' on, if it's all the same to you.
[ the feelings that come through as he says that give the impression that there's a tangle of much worse emotions on the other side of a door he's trying to keep shut. ]
Before that, though... when we first woke up, we were ourselves, in this sort of between-worlds space, where this... ghost kid asked us to help his friends. Needed to give the manuscript of this history book to one of 'em, and get the others out of some building they were in.
Didn't actually get to that part 'til we were done bein' elda kids. We skipped forward twenty-odd years, and all three of us were split up... it was real weird and disorienting, because I remembered everything from both lives at that point. Just accepted it even though it didn't make any sense.
I think so...? Not sure why we reverted back to that earlier part at first. Just to mess with us, I guess.
[ because we thought it would be a fun return sorry del ]
...But yeah, once I changed back to normal, the ones from way back then [ vague gesture to his ear and neck ] were healed, and the new ones I got right at the end showed back up.

[ she's really just relieved that he looks and sounds like himself, right now. ]
You... came back different. I'm glad it didn't last...
[ i, pazu, think that one of you should've had to murder or be murdered as a baby. ]
no subject
Yeah. Yeah, it was, that was just. Somethin' I pretended it was once.
[ weirdly complicated feelings about this stupid reed for some reason. ]
Anyway, sorry 'bout that. [ ... ] We weren't like that the whole time there, either. Not sure why we came back that way.

That... does sound confusing.
Then, is that why your wounds also seemed to change, once you returned to yourself?
