[ blinks. ]

You mean Koharu? [ ... ] What name do you know?

[ ... ]

I was called Hollowcry.

...Hollowcry. [ what a name. ] Sorry for confusing you, then.

[ don't hate on my warriorcats name :/ ]

No, it's okay. [ ... ] I've kind of figured that's what everyone knows me by.

[ sorry he's a hater ]

Yeah, but the whole thing's already confusing for you guys and us. It's a smaller thing, but maybe it helps. I don't know.

Oh. Um.

Really, you can just call me whatever is easier for you.

It's fine.

[ accept it or else ]

You really don't have to try and accommodate everyone else, you know. You're the one who came back injured.

Well...

[ she shifts, uncertain. ]

If that's what everyone is calling me, then that's supposed to be my name, isn't it?

It can be your name again tomorrow or whenever it feels right. And they're probably trying to be helpful and all, but it really doesn't seem like there's anything anyone can do when this stuff happens besides patch you up and wait for your head to feel a little clearer. Might as well call you guys what you know for now.

... Alright. That's okay by me.

...I know you're having a hard time and you were injured and all, but... I'm glad you made it back okay. A lot of people care about you here.

... Have we been here long?

Here in heaven? A few weeks. Just enough for people to know they care.

[ ... a nod ]

I guess it is... No wonder so many of you showed up when we got here.

Well, no one likes to see someone that injured in the first place. But yeah, that just makes it personal.

[ makes a small hum in acknowledgement ]

I'll try to remember everyone again soon.

You'll remember. And even if you don't, you'll figure out fast enough that some of these people are such giant freaks they're hard to forget.

... Giant freaks?

Yeah. You won’t believe how weird some of these people are. There’s a guy here who talks to birds like they’re going to talk back.

[ There's a beat, then a furrow of her brow. ]

... That isn't strange if they understand you, right?

Why would they? They're birds.

[ With another short pause, she rubs at her temple. ]

They can. ... I've done it before.

You have?

[ a nod ]

I don't remember where.

...Well, that's fine. I don't think they understand here, though, is the thing.
