Hi everyone...

I wanted to let you know about something more serious. It's about who...or what I am. So this doesn't surprise you later. I guess some of you already knew I wasn't quite what I appeared to be, but I'm still processing it.

I used to watch shows about magical girls when I was younger. If you've never seen those shows before, they're about girls with magic who use some kind of gem to change into cute battle outfits, have animal friends to mentor them, other magical friends to fight alongside...and love and justice always won out. I used to dream about what it would be like to become one, though I was sure it wasn't real.

And then, when I least expected it, it happened. I was heavily wounded after a car crash, and a cute animal appeared to me. He promised me any wish I wanted as long as I agreed to become a magical girl and fight witches who trap and kill humans. So I wished to keep living...and became what I am now.

I thought I was just a regular magical girl like the ones on TV. But it turns out I'm a lich. Revenant. Undead. He ripped my soul out of my body and put it in a gem...I know that's usually dark magic. I've been reassured that I'm safe for you all to be around, Rosetta helps keep my soul gem safe. But it just feels strange, that I've been like this for a while...is all. Any advice on living with it would be appreciated.

Oh...mm. That sounds familiar.

I'd really like to talk, whenever you have time. But I know it's a sensitive subject.

Yeah. There's another guy on the train now who's in a similar situation.

[Though that's a whole other long story, so he doesn't elaborate on Vexen just now.]

And hey, if I can help keep some one else from making the kinds of mistakes I made? I can definitely take or make some time to talk.

Plus I have a friend who's not entirely human too, and has been struggling with her own issues on that front. Maybe the two of you could help each other out too, kinda like a really small support group or something?

I could try. Let me know when a good time to meet is.

I'm not busy right now, so if you want, I could meet you in the quiet car when you're done talking to everybody else who replied. Unless there's somewhere else you'd rather meet, of course.

[He figures she'll want some privacy to talk about this kind of thing, but he's willing to meet wherever she's most comfortable.]

The quiet car's fine. I'll see you there?

[ And when she's done, she calls to indicate that that's where she's headed, and knocks. ]

Hello?

[Lea nods.]

See you there.

[He ends the feed there, but when she arrives in the quiet car a little later, she'll find him in one of the first booths that was open, along with a bottle of water for each of them. He smiles a little and gestures for her to come in.]

Hey there. Mami, right? I'm Lea. Nice to properly meet you, though I imagine we both could've wished for happier circumstances.

That's me. Nice to meet you too.

[ Oh, he's so thoughtful. Mami takes it with a little graceful nod. ]

So it sounded like you had trouble for a really long time?

[Yep. Plus serious discussions are always better when you have something to do during those awkward pauses.]

Yeah. And even though I've got my heart back now, I figure I'm gonna be dealing with the fallout for quite awhile yet. So I've had plenty of time to screw up, and learn from those screw ups. Hopefully some of that can help you.

I guess... is there anything in particular you want to ask me about, to start with?
