“Lady (Y/N). Before I tell you any more you must keep this secret between the two of us. Nobody else must know about it yet. Do you understand?” His voice was stern. “Y-yes. I promise I won't ever say a word about any of this.”

“Very well. I'm trusting you, (Y/N).” He says as he stands up. He holds out his hand for me to take and I grab onto it. It was surprisingly cold, and he leads me over to one of the many coffins. My heart was pounding inside my chest, and he turns to look at me. “I promise I won't break your trust.” He then lets go of my hand.

“I'm holding you to that.” He says as he removes the lid, but only half way. I gasp at the sight I was looking at. It was my brother, it was clear that this wasn't any ordinary coffin, but a very specially made one. He was immersed in what I can assume was just plain water, and he was hooked up to oxygen tanks and who knows what else. I broke down in tears the longer I stared at him, his eyes still closed. I then felt the undertaker place his hand over my shoulder.

“He doesn't have a heartbeat either, but he is still very much alive. I expect it to be a long process just as yours was, but I'm trying to do it a little differently. I'm just taking my time fixing and adjusting little by little.”

“A little differently? How did you do it with me?” I asked as I look up at him. “I placed you in a similar coffin as his, though because his scar is much different, I want to try to make it as if he never had one. Something I never thought of when I was working on you. You still have your scar, I want to see what more I can do.” He answers. “Can he open his eyes yet?”

“Yes, though he has a hard time talking yet. I recovered his body over a year ago, and we've already made much progress, though we still have a LONG way to go.” I turn to face him as I couldn't take looking at my brother like that anymore. “Can he move at all?”

“No, not without help. But it's still too soon for him to be moving yet.” I didn't know what else to do, so I went to hug him. He was caught off guard for a moment, but he returned the hug. “Thank you for bringing him back! Thank you for bringing me back! Thank you... For everything!”

“It's my pleasure, though I thought you would have been mad about all of this to be honest.” I let go as he says that. “Mad? Why would I be mad? You gave my brother and I a second chance at life!”

“While most people would love to have their loved ones brought back, it's still considered an insane thing to do.” He laughs. “You should know by now I love everything that others don't! Why do you think you've always been my favorite person growing up?” He again laughs.

“That is true. We would have a lot of fun joking around back then. I'm honored to hear that, my dear. I can say the same about you. Now, would you like any more tea?” He asks as he takes my cup. “Yes, please.” He leaves the room, and I take one more look at my brother.

“I can't wait to see you when you're awake. I've missed you terribly...... For the past 2 years I thought I had lost the both of you, but then... I suppose you thought you've lost me 6 years ago as well. I'm here now. We have the undertaker to thank for giving us our lives back...... I thought I've failed you both as an older sister. I'm so thankful I get a second chance to make it right.”

After another moment, I decided to put the lid back over him. Just as I finished, he came back into the room with two cups in hand, along with some jar. “I have a batch of biscuits filled fresh from the oven if you'd like to have some.” He says as he hands me the cup back. “Biscuits? What kind of biscuits?” He laughs. This is the person I always knew, laughing at anything and everything. This was also why a lot of people found him to be weird I guess, but I've always loved it.
