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.

I guess that's true! I heard there was a show about a train like this one in the cinema car, actually. Maybe I should watch it.

And...thank you. I think I'll try to do that.

Maybe! It might be worth a watch.

Sure no problem. [Not sure if what she said would actually be of any help] I can't imagine what it's like to have everything you thought you knew flipped upside down... well.. I mean I can.. but not on such a personal level? I mean it's not like I knew there were actually a multitude of dimensions and inhabitable planets out here...

.. but this is different because it affects you specifically. [Which was more or less the point she was trying to get to] .. Say... uh.. I don't know if you're the solitary curl into a ball type after hearing bad news, or the type that would rather do something recreational to take your mind off of it for a while... but... I guess.. if you're the latter.. we could... maybe... do something? [At least putting the offer out there, even if it wasn't her place to do so. Silvia missed having a girl friend to talk over lesser issues with or just hang out.. and perhaps she could really help this girl.]

[ That last offer brings a smile to her face. ]

I think I've done enough sitting and thinking. What's something fun you like to do?
