Elián;
"You're back." Elien's voice floods my mind through the darkness, and I take a deep breath.
"I'm sorry if I'm an inconvenience… but I'm not certain I want to go back to where I come from," I reply, with my voice echoing in the void, and there's silence.
"Huh. You hate your life that much?" He questions, and I fall silent
"It's okay. I hate mine too. We're quite alike, to be honest. I think we'll be fine." He replies, and I smile faintly.
"How come I only get to talk to you when we have near-death experiences? I wish I could talk to you whenever I want. There are so many questions I want to ask you." I speak, and he sighs.
"Yeah. There are lots of things you need to know since you're clearly the one in most control of my… our body. We need to figure out how to communicate with each other… without you constantly putting our lives at risk, of course." He replies, and I smile.
"Sure," I whisper.
