The first thing Jeremy noticed was a lack of pain.

He remembered, very clearly, being shot in the head, surely that would hurt him? It couldn't have been long enough for his body to heal itself either, though the lack of lacerations on his body proved otherwise.

The second thing he noticed, upon further inspection, was that he was very much in a casket. Why the fuck was he in a casket? Yeah, he got shot in the head, but it's not like he can die or anything. Ray new that, and surely relayed that info to the Fakes, right?

The third thing he noticed was that his voice was incredibly hoarse. "Hello?" He had tried to call out, but it came out as nothing more than a grumble. He tried pushing up on the lid to the casket, and to his surprise, it lifted up with ease. As he sat up, he looked around and made eye contact with Matt.

They stared a moment, Jeremy confused as to why Matt was there, and Matt just starting wide eyed at his best friend.

"That... that's impossible." Matt said quietly, shaking his head.

"Can you get me some water? My throat feels like sandpaper." Jeremy responded, confused. Before he could process it, Matt was pulling him into a tight embrace. "Hey, I'm glad to see you too, but why the hugs?"

"Oh my god, you're alive. You're actually alive. I'm not dreaming, you're here." Matt began to cry. Jeremy was decently freaked out at this point.

"Well, of course I'm not dead. I can't die, remember?" Jeremy tried to comfort him, but it simply made Matt cry harder.

A moment later, Mica, Kdin, Trevor, and Caleb walked in, expecting to comfort Matt. They weren't surprised to see him crying, but they were surprised to see a very much alive, albeit confused Jeremy.

"Holy shit." Caleb gasped.

"Jeremy!" Mica yelled.

"You're alive!" Kdin yelled at the same time as they ran to Jeremy's side. Matt continued to cry as Jeremy found himself in the embrace of 4 people.

"Uh," Jeremy started, "can someone please explain what's going on? I feel like I missed something."

"Let's get you out of this casket and get you some water. You sound like shit." Trevor chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye. Jeremy found himself being rushed into the living room, Matt never leaving his side. He thanked Trevor for the water and waited for an explanation.

"Okay, before we start, tell us everything you remember." Caleb told him. Jeremy nodded.

"I remember being in probably the most pain I've ever been in, and then I remember the bullet going into my head. Drawing a blank after that, though. Figured I passed out or something."

"You died, Jeremy. Like, heart stopped, no blood flowing dead." Mica deadpanned. Matt hit her arm. "What? There's no use in sugarcoating it. The bitch died, now he's alive again."

"She has a point." Kdin pointed out.

"Back up. I died? I thought I couldn't do that. I get that I had that goo in me, but did that really make me mortal?"

"Temporarily, it would seem. The viles of the 'goo', as you called it, were destroyed during Ryan's rampage, so I can't do any tests to see for sure. I'm not sure I would want to anyway." Caleb added the lay part quickly. Trevor stood up suddenly.

"Ryan, fuck!" He yelped, pulling out his phone.

"What?" Matt questioned. Jeremy's eyes widened.

"Ryan still thinks I'm dead."
