[There's a brief shuffle, and a strained gasp, before a voice speaks up. Someone's back from a little excursion with John. He doesn't have the energy to lock it.]

...Guy?

Some... help.

[Asch blinks at that; he'd completely forgotten about them. Taking the bag, he pulls out the dark chocolate one and pops one in his mouth. .....Yeah, that's the shit. As an afterthought he offers the box out to Emil. You can have one. One. 8|]

[He'll look at Asch for a moment to be absolutely sure it's okay before taking a single chocolate from the box.]

Thank you.

[Nom nom... hey, these are pretty good.]

Are you feeling any better now?

I'm alright. I've just been tired since I got back.

[Ignore the fact that he suddenly starts to glow, since he is. Either that or he's focused on the delicious chocolate cherry goodness.]

[It's a good thing that Emil just swallowed the chocolate he was eating, because otherwise he would've choked on it.]

U-um, Asch...?

What? You want another one? [Greedy kid >:| Here, have the bo- ...oh, his arm's glowing. That explains things.] ...Dammit.

Should I go get Guy?

[He's worried, because... well, the last time he saw anything like this was with the whole Lusch incident.]

No, he knows about this. There's nothing he can do, anyway. [Asch lifts his arm, gripping his wrist with the other hand.] Get back.

[... yeah, he's not gonna question that one. Scrambling back now, eyes wide.]

[Just give him a minute. Hmmmmmm. Focus, focus, focus, foc-

-Aaaaand with a flare of light and a very distinct humming sound - if Emil remembers clearly, it'd be the same sound Lusch had been making when he was trying to split - a nice-sized hole appears in the opposite wall, revealing the hallway.]

Whoa!

[And he'll be hitting the floor despite the fact that he wasn't anywhere near the line of fire. HE'S JUST A TINY BIT PARANOID NOW.]

... w-what was that?!

[Asch lowers his arm and slumps back against his pillow, looking annoyed.]

It's my hyperresonance. I can't control it anymore.

Hyperresonance... that thing Luke was talking about. I didn't know it could do something like that...

[Asch stretches his fingers, clenching and unclenching his fist a few times.]

It's not supposed to. Not unless I want to do it.

But why would whoever kidnapped you want to make it go out of control like that?

I don't think that was their intention. I lost that power when I died, and now it's back. I probably just can't control it yet.

Wait, I thought that when you died, whatever you lost was permanent. So... how did you get it back?

Haven't you been paying attention? There's a scientist who can remove them. He works with Jacob.

I didn't know he could do stuff like that, but then again, I've never really had a reason to pay much attention to... to anything about death here.

Even if it's unpleasant, you need to be watching. It's important that you get back what's yours when it's taken from you.

What if you don't even know what they took?

You figure out what it is, and then get it back. If something is a part of you, it's impossible to ignore or replace when it's missing.

[He nods.]

I'm glad you were able to get your hyperresonance back, but, um... I hope it goes back to normal soon before anything else blows up.

I'll have it back under control in a week. [A promise he's making for himself, more than anyone else or the sake of his house, for that matter.]

[Well, Emil is buying it, at least.]

That's good; I bet Guy will appreciate that too.

[Too bad he'll fail. /o/]

...Guy can handle this.
