I can't help but smile to myself as I mentally play over her features again.
I'm not really sure what this feeling is. It has definitely been a long time since I have felt it, that is for certain. But I am having a hard time defining it. What is it exactly? I paused for a few minutes to try to figure it out, but I was honestly completely puzzled. I know there is a thread of excitement mixed with curiosity at the core, but I can't completely decipher what is causing it. I brush it aside for the moment, because I really don't feel like dwelling on it.
Seokjin hadn't seemed as interested as I was and left the Earth realm before me. I stuck around so I could keep myself tuned into their telepathic communications. I wanted to know what was going on with that part of my team, but most importantly what was going on with Everleigh. It was more accurate to say I simply wanted to know everything about her, but I kept those particular thoughts to myself while I eavesdropped on what was going on with the other four members of my team and Everleigh.
When they had escorted Everleigh to her apartment they had all veiled their shock at how fast she was able to achieve pulling herself out of the veil. It was mostly due to how much she struggled the first time trying to dive into it. Usually when someone has that many issues they struggle even more so with the opposite. Yet something in Namjoon decided to push her to see if she rose to the challenge. He hadn't been able to keep how pleased he was with how she succeeded on the first attempt off of his face, but all the others were able to keep their surprise from registering across their own features.
They had also all been crazy shocked at how well she was taking the news they were sharing. But Jimin was able to reason that it was due to the fact that she has been searching for answers for five years now. He shared what little she was able to learn on her own, which was still surprisingly a lot in my opinion. After all, many things would have struck her as fantasy or myth, and she might have turned the other way when she came across such suggestions. Instead she chose to focus on taking a more scientific approach in researching why she might crave chocolate and correlated it with how it curbed her other appetites.
As they all started to gather her stuff together I tuned out of the conversation and headed to Eisodoi. I took my time traversing over the grassy hills to the gate that would take me home. I waited until shortly after they all entered Eisodoi themselves. Everleigh didn't make a comment about how she had to have been pulled out of the veil, and it was something the others couldn't help but be confused by. They waited for her to ask, but for some reason she was just able to accept it. The truth of the matter regarding the veil when it comes to Eisodoi is simply the fact that the veil doesn't exist in Eisodoi, nor does it exist in the circles of Hell actually. But it does exist in other realms of existence outside of Earth. When Elpida jumped into their conversation I jumped through the gate. Elpida was nothing but trouble, and I didn't want to hear about the drama she dredged up.
