Ichino opened his eyes to find himself in a blank space—nothing but endless white in every direction.
Then a slightly teasing voice whispered in his ear: "Took you long enough."
Ichino's eyes widened as he spun around, but his weapons were gone. Sefa stood over him, fully intact.
"You must be surprised, huh, little human?"
Ichino remained on high alert. "What are you doing here? I killed you."
Sefa reached out, caressing his cheek with surprising gentleness. "Yes, you did. And now you're here."
"What the—" Ichino slapped her hand away. "Don't touch me, you witch."
Sefa laughed and crossed her arms. "You must be wondering why you are, no?"
Ichino's eyes narrowed. "Yes. What is this place? Am I dead?"
Sefa took a step closer, standing right in front of him and towering over him. "No, you're just in your mind. This is the place you go when you kill and gain an Unkoi."
"I still don't get this whole Unkoi thing," Ichino admitted.
Sefa patted his head almost affectionately. "You'll learn. Plus, you have me now."
Ichino groaned in annoyance. "Damn you."
Sefa smirked. "Love you too. Looks like time's up. I'm sure your little friend will explain everything."
She took a step back, examining him one final time.
Ichino suddenly felt a wave of pain. "Not again—"
He screamed, and then his eyes snapped open.
He found himself staring up at Lily, who was looking down at him with an annoyed expression. He realized his head was resting on her lap.
"You're finally awake, huh? Took you long enough."
Ichino sat up quickly, then noticed his arm was back. He stared at it with wide eyes. "What the—"
Lily smirked. "It grew back while you were asleep. Sefa must give you the ability to heal yourself."
Ichino stood up and began walking back toward the village without a word.
"And WHERE do you think you're going?" Lily demanded.
"Home."
Lily sighed, then followed him. "Men, follow the idiot."
Her remaining guards fell into step behind them.
