[Lucy's noticed how the internet here doesn't allow one to post anonymously, so she decides to go with a username that she'll probably never use again. It's the closest thing she's got to anonymous.]

So, I went through the whole forum and it doesn't look like this has been asked before.

Who else was dead, or in the process of dying when they arrived here?

I was dead for thirteen years then came back to life before I ended up here. Does that count?

[scarredhorns]

How did you come back to life?

[She's not going to say, "How is that possible?" because clearly it is if he's here. Doors to another world shouldn't be possible either, but here they all are.]

[diabolique]

I was summoned.

[scarredhorns]

Summoned?
Like a ritual?

[diabolique]

Exactly like that.

[scarredhorns]

But why?

[diabolique]

He wanted revenge and I was the most evil spirit he could think of.

[scarredhorns]

Revenge? For what?
And were you happy to be brought back to life, or did you wish they'd just left you alone?

[diabolique]

Abuse.
At first, I wished I'd just been left alone, but as time went on, I was glad for the second chance.

[scarredhorns]

It's too soon for me to feel relief, if I ever feel that way.

[Although, she is happy for Nyuu getting a second chance. Lucy just doesn't feel happy for herself.]

But I can't relax knowing that there's a time loop in my world.
That's the only thing keeping me going right now.

[diabolique]

They're in a lot of worlds. I guess after a while it's easier to accept. I've been here for a while.

[scarredhorns]

How long have you been here?

[diabolique]

Seven months.

[scarredhorns]

Over half a year???

[diabolique]

That's right.

[scarredhorns]

Do you want to return home as soon as possible, or do you like it here better?

[diabolique]

I don't think I'm getting home any time soon. Besides, I'm probably safer here.

[scarredhorns]

What makes you say that? I thought you were an evil spirit?

Although, it seems like I'm definitely safer here. Haven't seen any enemies from home so far.

[diabolique]

I have a lot of enemies at home because people *think* I'm evil.

[scarredhorns]

I see...
It's very easy for people to point fingers and call someone evil.
I didn't grow up dreaming that I'd become a villain, but since people refused to see me as anything else, I got tired of trying to convince them otherwise.

[This is the truth-telling effect of the blue minobi at work.]

What about you? Did you try to convince them otherwise?

[diabolique]

I tried to do what was right but the people in charge told everyone it was wrong.

CW: mentioned violence committed by a child

[scarredhorns]

I have an idea of how that feels.
I tried to keep to myself, but people just wouldn't leave me alone.
I wasn't trying to look for trouble. But it eventually got to a point where I lost my temper in a deadly way, and that was it for me.

[Because that was when the DNA Voice awakened, the day she killed the ones who bullied her at the orphanage. And she allowed it to manipulate her for years, a realization that still shames her even now.]

[diabolique]

I understand what that's like.

[scarredhorns]

You do?

[The amount of people who have been sympathizing is astonishing to Lucy, even more so when they don't even know who the other person is due to the anonymity of the internet.]

cw: mention of mass murder

[diabolique]

I lost control and killed a lot of people. A LOT.
