[ Considers for a moment, then opts to just be honest ]

There was a hospital room, and a girl waiting for someone to come keep her company.

[She's silent for a moment, rolling a thought around in her head.]

She was who I used to be.

Who you "used" to be?

... My past life. She died when she was twelve.

[ ................... Oh. ]

Your-- past life? You remember it?

Mmm... yeah. I do. She's part of my dreams a lot. They usually... aren't good.

[ Being a dying child in a hospital with neglectful parents is probably like that, isn't it . . . ]

This wasn't a bad dream. You were waiting for your doctor friend to come see you, and we threw a party in the meantime. Your friends were all there to celebrate you.

[She closes her eye for a moment, thinking... though there's a hint of sadness at the mention of 'doctor' that disappears as quick as it appeared]

I do remember waking up feeling pretty good for once a couple of days ago... I don't remember any of that, but I usually don't sleep because of bad dreams. The fact that I woke up feeling okay means something was good.
