"What do you mean?" Kenny asked.

Finally, Adam was calm enough to go down to see what was up. That girl hadn't moved the entire time. "Hey, what are you doing out here?" he called, before he could really see her.

[Gifted]

"What do you mean 'what do I mean', dumbass? We. Are. All. Dead. You are dead. He just found out his brother is dead." Rakel said, like she was explaining this to someone mentally incompetent. "How would you want him to take that news?"

The girl, who was unconscious, didn't answer. She didn't even move.
When Adam approached her, he would find yet another person he knew. But this girl did not look anything like he knew her in life. Her skin was clean and unblemished by scars, her sleeping or unconscious face had filled in from the sunken, pale look she had had before. Her clothing fit her perfectly and no ribs would be seen under her shirt, skinny though she still was. Her once lifeless, half-gone hair had regained it's natural body and her full head of hair flowed, blonde and wavy, down to her shoulders. In short, this girl who had been starving herself since before Adam had met her in life had become healthy again, with no traces of the damage inflicted by both herself and other parties.
She had her arms curled up to her chest and her hands on her shoulders as though trying to keep warm. Her lips were slightly parted, and the girl he knew to be named Roseanne slept peacefully. She was really quite pretty when she wasn't starving herself.

[Raven]

Adam was shocked. Poor Roseanne. His poor brother. Dammit. He gently picked her up. She looked cold, and it was a bad idea to be out here all night anyway. He'd bring her back to the principal's office.

Kenny glanced down. "Right..."

[Gifted]

As Adam was carrying her up the steps, she began to awaken. She shifted her weight a little and rubbed her eyes. "What the... Where am I...?"

[Raven]

"You're safe. We'll explain everything soon," Adam assured her.

[Gifted]

"Huh? Who are you? Put me down!" Roseanne demanded, sounding fearful.

[Raven]

Adam was surprised, but not because she was afraid. She probably would have been even more afraid if she'd remembered him. Unless she assumed he was Kenny. Adam did as he was told. "I was getting you inside. You don't need to worry, it's a school," he explained.

[Gifted]

"A school?" She stood up and looked around. "What was I doing out in the field at a school in the middle of the night?" She frowned, seemingly talking to herself. "And how did I get here?"

[Raven]

Adam debated whether to lie, but he decided against it. "You died," he said, simply.

[Gifted]

"I what?" Her eyes widened.

[Raven]

"You died. I don't know how, but everyone here has. This is the afterlife. But we're not done fighting. We have another chance here," Adam said.

[Gifted]

"...This is a joke, right?" Roseanne gave a very obviously fake laugh. "Hahaha, that's a cute prank. You have a funny sense of humor." Even though it was obvious she was lying, it also wan't meant to be sarcastic. She was legitimately trying to lie to be kind. She just wasn't very good at it. "I'm going to go to bed though. I'm sure I'll remember what happened in the morning."

[Raven]

"Amnesia is common among people whose head got injured when they died. I had it at first as well. Just do me a favor and don't go to class - you'll be obliterated if you do."

[Gifted]

"What are you talking about now?" Roseanne asked. "Obliterated?"

[Raven]

"You'll disappear forever," Adam explained. "Unless you fight, you get obliterated."
