A new school! A new place to live and learn and make a life.
And this one seems to have come with pieces of that life all ready for me.

It has been amazing meeting the others: so much emotion and camaraderie right from the beginning! I don't think I've felt anything like it. I expect my reactions will be even stronger now that Jehan is aware within me. Stronger, and yet less bewildering; I'll know exactly why I feel the way I do.

Proof of reincarnation... Not just reincarnation but reunion. It still hasn't all sunken in. To know and love a group of people, and to forge bonds that even death could not sunder. This is truly incredible.

On the darker side, I have also now experienced the price for this revelation. The others have done well to make it through months of that ... entity's ministrations. I am hoping that, with Jehan now aware of me, I can be of more use during the next ordeal.

It does rather change the whole world. If there was a way that we could conclusively prove it, can you imagine how much the world would change? If people knew that there was life after death, that there was a soul, that there seems to be some force that draws those who were close in one life together in another... I mean, many religions postulate about the afterlife, and people believe in that, but we have proof.

Unfortunately it's proof that would be difficult to convince the rest of the world with. I'd still like to share our experience once we know enough about it to write any kind of coherent narrative, though.

I don't have any easy answers about the dreams. They're terrible. They're designed to be terrible. Sometimes knowing that makes it better; other times... not so much. I'm impressed that you and Jehan have already managed to make a connection. Hopefully it will help you in the future, especially if our speculations about how to hurt the creature are right.

It was already an intense and exciting experience when our little group met Conlan's, and that was before all the supernatural stuff started going down. I can only imagine that it's got to be about a thousand times worse for you. You've been handling it remarkably well. I think most people would be trying to check themselves into a mental facility right about now.

And despite how dramatic everything ended up being, I'm glad that you can remember--that Jehan's awake now. We are really and truly Les Amis reunited, all present and accounted for, and that makes Joly ecstatic. Which in turn makes me ecstatic.

Perhaps one of these days we should let them go touring the city in our bodies. Joly's been getting used to everything, but he's absolutely fascinated by our world still. We can be foreign tourists in our own hometown!

(Try not to let the dreams get to you. This is impossible advice to follow, but remember that anything the shadow tried to tell you was a lie. It just wants to see us hurt, and we can't let it.)
