[Hikari doesn't like the feeling of seeing someone dead and not even knowing their name. If she had the Vine, she's going to find out. And there's someone who is at least a little bit trust-worthy and might not be hesitant to talk about it.]

Batgirl, it's Hikari. I need to ask you something... About the person who was killed.

[action]

[Later on, one can find Hikari at the Orchard, stocking up on supplies to use as ingredient in her meals. Bother her?]

That's right. We can just brush these things off.

... listen. I know seeing this sort of thing can be hard, even if you aren't directly involved. How are you holding up?

Mm.

... As well as possible, honestly. Are we... going to give her a grave?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

You could try burying her, but I think she might object to that.

[... what?]

Why would she... object?

It doesn't seem as if death is treated with much respect in this place. Fate made another transmission, shortly after it all went down.

What?

She's alive, then?

video; filtered;

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Alive and kicking, or so the rumours say.

[so confused right now.]

That's- Did the Queen have anything to do with it?

If I had to guess, I'd say yes. She's got the power to bring us from other worlds, so why not back from the dead?

[Now horrified on top of that, but it makes sense to her.]

I'm not sure if I'm okay with that sort of power.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

I'm not, either. But Fate has a daughter, doesn't she? It's better that she's back for her sake, at least.

[Remembers Vivio saying Fate-mama, once.]

... Vivio-san, yes. I'm very grateful for Vivio-san not having to deal with that as young as she is.

Right. So no matter how screwed up it is, we've still gotta try and see the silver-lining on the giant rain cloud of crap that is this universe.

[A small snort of amusement she probably didn't mean to make.]

You're right. Thank you, very much, for telling me this, Batgirl.
