[silence for a short while.  No sound of alarm from Setsuna, this has happened to her before.  When she does speak, she sounds remarkably calm for someone who's just been brought back to life.]

I have returned.   Just as expected.

[the sound of pages being turned]

Welcome back!

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

[his voice is soft, delighted]

Setsuna. You were missed.

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

[A long silence where she has no idea what to say.]

It's good to hear that you have recovered, Doctor.

[Another page is turned; she's gotten to this entry. (http://community.livejournal.com/paradisa/4028768.html)]

...Paralysis?!

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm...very glad you're back.

[tense silence, and then, quietly]

No. Just memories.

[A sudden, sharp breath, followed by a lengthy silence, and then that first breath being slowly exhaled]

...Welcome back.

[ooc: She's read his reaction. She's not happy about it.]

I'm...

[Another lengthy pause.]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

...sorry... [Gone gone gone. The only way you'd know what that would say is if you could read Vergil's mind.]

I...

[A drawn out sigh that sounds both frustrated and confused.]

[ooc: I figured as much. He miiiiight close his journal. I suppose he might expect a visitor if that happens? Also, sorry if I take long to reply. Job and all.]

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry, Vergil...

[ooc: Yes, yes he would.]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

[This is Vergil, trying to process a response]

It's not your fault. It is...was...

It just wasn't your fault.

[A breath, ever so slightly shakier than it should be.]

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

If I had known-- [very, very gone]

[A quiet sigh of frustration.]

[devil-blue.livejournal.com]

It's all so difficult.

[Setsuna]

I'm sorry. I couldn't...I couldn't even...

Dammit!

[A slight silence before the journal is shut in defeat]

[sealyourfate.livejournal.com]

Welcome back...

How are you feeling?

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm feeling as well as I did before the plague.

[sealyourfate.livejournal.com]

That is good to hear! ♥

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

Yes?

aaand filtered throughout /o/

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

You really are back.

I...

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

The castle does bring people back to life.

Besides that, I've never been able to stay dead. [so gone.]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

So it really does...

I'm so glad that you're okay now.

[long, awkward pause]

I'm sorry that I couldn't help you during the plague. I'm really, really sorry.

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

There is nothing to be sorry for. It's not your fault.

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

Mm, still... You went through so much. [.___.]

[plutoniangarnet.livejournal.com]

There are others who went through worse things during that week.

[benotmywish.livejournal.com]

[written] Just like Ms. Belle, Ms. Setsuna.

[brother-mhenlo.livejournal.com]

It's good to see you've returned.
