It was nice to see him distracted from everything else, even for just a moment. But fascinating? Alice sighed as she started to regain strength in her flesh and gradually returned to her human form. As a result her fingers were linger on his. They were warm compared to her previously chilling state. She quickly retrieved them and slowly lowered her arm.

Alice recovered with a small smile. No one had really asked anything about her. Besides the basics, she was always one to adapt among the others to keep herself from getting hurt. That, or she'd put her energy into helping others. "I don't know exactly. I do know that...my mother, she was a ghost. My father is human but..." There, no need to get into that story now. Besides, Isamu had moved onto other images.

"Snow. Snow is so beautiful. But the rain...that's always been my favorite." It was interesting and so, horribly sad to hear Isamu ask all these questions. They were all simple things, but he'd been locked up for so long that he couldn't even enjoy..snow.

"I came from a small town. No place you'd ever hear of. Everyone knows everyone. There's a few cobblestone streets here and there. A pond..." Oh, the pond. As a little girl Alice would venture out behind her cottage house and peer into the waters and see her reflection, matching her transparent flesh. "But there's still..bad in the world. I left that all behind so I could escape it. Now I'm frightened, but at least I don't have to go back."
