SYPNOSIS;
throughout ei's many years
of life, she had only ever
considered one woman
to be her beloved.

time passes, and in the current
day, she finds her beloved
standing in front of her.

▬▬▬

[name] [last name] is lamented. She had passed centuries ago--long before Inazuma became Inazuma. Passed due to monsters from the Abyss.

Ei witnessed the death with her very own eyes. She saw so clearly how defenseless the [hair colour]-haired female was against those monsters--but Ei couldn't do anything to help at all, for she was too late.

Regret pooled within her heart, and often she blames herself for the female's death. Ei wished that she would've been faster, that she would've arrived earlier.

But what use is it to cry over spilled milk?

When the cataclysm had come to an end, Ei had multiple deaths to grieve: her sister's, her beloved's, her friends'.

Forced to take over the role of the Electro Archon, she ruled by herself for a while--until she made the perfect puppet. A puppet that would fulfill Ei's duties as the Electro Archon according to what she deemed 'eternity' while Ei herself mediated in the Plane of Euthymia.

Until the arrival of the golden-haired traveler, Ei was isolated. She was completely alone within the Plane of Euthymia. With the traveler's help, Ei no longer secluded herself in the Plane of Euthymia.

She had decided on taking a mere stroll around the streets of Inazuma, until she noticed a figure she recognised all too well.

Ei searched for the figure, then eventually found herself face to face with her beloved--or someone identical to her beloved.

But [name] [last name] was meant to be dead.

So how come the very woman who stood before Ei looked exactly like [name]?

"... Is it really you?"

Simply, Ei was baffled.

Perhaps her mind was playing tricks on her due to the fact that she really hadn't moved on, she considered. But the [hair colour]-haired female looked so real, so much like [name], was it really all a hallucination?

"I'm real."

Ei felt like multiple buildings had just dropped down on her.

She was real.

"... That cannot be. I witnessed your death--the way you were mauled by those creatures. You... you're supposed to be deceased."

[name] took a step closer, then put her hand out.

"I'm real," she would repeat again.

Ei gazed at her hand. She remembered it to be soft; not at all rough. Yet the [name] name stood before her had calloused hands.

Slowly, the Archon's own hand moved to [name]'s, firmly holding onto it.

The feeling was definitely not the same, but the warmth it emitted was. The warmth of her hands, the warmth of her hold--it was familiar.

"I'm back from the dead."
