Heaven really was a special state of being, and there weren't really any other words to describe it. Still, it was weird that now it was medically mandated. Nee hoped that Shiro wasn't being forced into it and wasn't pushing herself too hard in trying to help. Something like Heaven took a lot of energy out of a person - Nee knew this very well. "You don't have to... you know?" Nee said, making sure Shiro knew she had the option to back out if she didn't want it. "I won't ever force you to do anything." Even from the beginning, even as Ellie, one of the key desires she had was to never ever abuse or take advantage of Shiro if at all possible. The girl seemed as if she made up her mind though, as if she already knew what she wanted. The couple finished eating the far-too-yummy food, both feeling stuffed from what now rested in their bellies.
Wren really was strong, wasn't she? Corren never really told them how bad the torture was, but from the amount of bandages that were around the servant at the time, it must have been much worse than he let on. It wouldn't be surprising if it was still haunting Wren, even now, but she was just acting as if she was fine, so that no one would have to expend worry over her. "She's a good friend for you." Someone like that, Nee would always be thankful for, even if she enjoyed teasing like Heron did. If the two girls met, the teasing would never end. Then Shiro asked an odd question. No drive? "It means she doesn't need to go achieve Heaven like we do." Nee explained, hoping Shiro would understand it. "She just doesn't have the need. You know how we get really hot down there? She doesn't really get that, especially not for other people." Asexuality. It existed, even in Ourania.
And then there was surprise news. It was a surprise because Nee had no idea Corren ever decided to get over his feelings for Kora. Still, he must have realized that it was helpless, and probably in that time, Maven wormed his feelings in and Corren decided to give him a chance. "I hope they end up happy." Nee murmured softly, tapping her fingers. "I want everyone to be happy." It might have been a weird thing for the Ice Queen to say, but it was what she felt. "No matter what, if everyone could end up happy, it'd be wonderful." A world where there was no sad people and no pain. Was such a thing possible? She told Shiro before that it was naive to expect that, but now, Nee really wanted it to be true.
Narina. There was a whole pile of complicated, unresolved feelings involved with Narina. Her mother, her birth mother, and Nee still didn't know how to process or really deal with any of it at all. Not yet, at least. She had a feeling that there was more to her mother than the monster they knew and hated, but Nee... couldn't. Her earliest memory was the spider room, the nightmare room, she didn't remember anything before that. "I would've liked to talk to her once more, I suppose." Nee admitted. Shiro went to rub her head then, and said it, praising her, acknowledging her efforts and Nee cried again, moved past the point of words. All she could do was wriggle under Shiro's hand and accept the praise. Then Shiro went with a surprise, and adorned herself in undergarments that were more than the usual, accentuating the parts that Nee liked on her and she wondered exactly how Wren knew how to pick these things out if she was asexual.
"You're beautiful." Nee said, and she blushed deeply, feeling almost ashamed to look at her lover's form. "You're everything to me..." Her own dress slipped off, and Nee wished she had more special underwear for the occasion. In a low whisper, with her whole lower half trembling with warmth, Nee whispered. "Wanna visit Heaven again?"

Aya stuck her tongue out, gently playing with the flesh that her sister owned, enjoying the feel of it. It was ridiculously sensitive, much more sensitive than Kora would ever be willing to admit and the lamb found that entertaining. And of course, Cress was being protective again, telling her not to. "But I'm in this body, aren't I? I need to bathe sometime, after all." A teasing grin was on her face, it was fun riling Cress up like this. Aya hoped to be able to see more of the girl she was going to entrust her sister to. "Maybe I can test this body out and tell you all of Kora's favorite spots?" It was a joke of course, she would never do anything of the sort. Reporting to Cress, at least.
It was the last section for Gehenna before moving out to Sisyphus, one of the smaller, outer cities. That one was blisteringly hot, built close to the Wall of Belphegor that blocked most Ashian traffic from the south. It was a giant wall, and during half of the day, the wall gave shade to the town of Sisyphus, but for the other half, the heat was uncontrollable, due to the desert. Thankfully at night the heat was gone - replaced by biting cold. "Don't work yourself too hard, Princess." Aya muttered to herself as she worked on the oasis as planned, allowing the others to actually bring Cress to a chair to ease up on herself.
Everyone tensed as the civilian approached. With Code Orange in effect, everyone had to be on high alert for any strange people approaching. Cress, just as Kora's memories dictated, said that Cress would ignore the warnings and automatically trust the man, and at least in this case, it seemed he wasn't up to any harm. Aya got back to working, and it was a marvel, actually. Kora's body was surprisingly strong, despite it's leanness. It was still thin and somewhat small - despite being a bit taller than Cress - so the muscle was definitely packed thinly over her bones. Aya wondered how she would have looked if she were allowed to live. What kind of life would she have lead? It was pointless to think about these things, and yet it was impossible not to consider them.
Heron strolled over then, and jabbed Aya with the non-blade end of her spear, the safe end, and she didn't look happy whatsoever. "You know, I heard about you." Heron definitely was taking a hostile stance. "You always showing off, making everyone love you. Don't you know how much you messed Kora up because of it? And the rabbit incident? Why would you do that to her?" Aya was a little surprised, actually. She didn't think Heron would be so direct about it. The lamb closed her eyes, because those days weren't easy for her either.
"I didn't want all the love, you know." Aya said softly, knowing it wasn't an excuse. "I wanted Kora to be appreciated too. But whenever I did something bad, they always blamed her and said I was just trying to protect her. No matter what I did, no one believed that she was innocent." Aya didn't really like Heron, but she knew outright antagonizing her wasn't going to lead to anything. "In the end, she killed me. It was just how it was meant to be, you know." Heron still glared, though, she didn't seem satisfied with that answer. "...That kid, she's really soft. Way too sensitive. You should've been a better sister to her." Aya nodded. She knew that already, didn't she? And it was too late to really make up for it too. But at least one thing could be determined. There was a tiny bit of love for Kora inside of this loud perverted knight, too.
