He was dead. [ Vash's voice is quiet and monotone, and his attention does not waver from the other him. ] Body ripped in two, no pulse, no breathing for the better part of an hour, I think. And then he was whole. He thought I had a vial with me, but even his clothes were back to how they had been when I'd last seen him before that.

[ For a moment, he closes his eyes. ]

There are too many vulnerable people around Luida. And definitely not at Rem's. There is a place... but I need to be closer to ask if they will take him there. It's a town of independents.

If they will not, I'll find somewhere to hole up with him. Should be safer for me than anyone else.

[ He. Is hoping that makes sense. His mind feels sluggish, stuck in the echoes of what the other Vash has been saying. And his suffering. This... if this is his future... ]
