[ After he revives, Fane… has a bit of a crisis, honestly. However. That’s all personal and has to do with his own odd state of undeath. Once he realizes that he’s not alone, Fane is quick to flee. He doesn’t want to be around others while he goes through this, but…

As he flees, he thinks about what had happened before his death. And in that, he finds something else he can focus on besides himself. Besides his daughter and being tricked—

So, with a little urgency in the space of Communion, Fane reaches out to Hayame. As was the case in Commmunion before, his presence isn’t the skeleton. He refuses to think of himself that way when there’s another option. ]

Hayame? I—

[ He reaches out reflexively, but once he has, he’s also not sure what to say. This was something to help distract himself too, so he stammer’s uncertainly, then sighs. ]

Thank you. That- I can only barely explain what happened, but thank you for destroying that foul thing that had taken me over.
