The sun is gonna reappear
The sun is gonna reappear
"I suppose." At least he wasn't upset. Slightly more at ease, Maea let herself sink back onto the bed. Wrapped up in the blanket, she tugged a pillow down from the pile and mushed it beneath her head, doing what she had been unable to before - making herself comfortable. Maybe they should have more lively debates, if that's what it took to make her loosen up, she mused.
Gazing at the fire from under half-closed lids, a quiet settled over the room. It was different from before. Calmer, not as fraught with tension and suppressed emotion. It coaxed her into a state of relaxation, where sharing pieces of her past didn't seem as world-endingly serious.
"When I was an ascended... we didn't feel much. Physically. No sense of taste, or smell, and touch was just pressure. No heat. No cold. It made me grow numb to a lot of things. And now that all those senses are back, it's like they've been doubled in intensity." She yawned, and nestled deeper into the mattress. "I thought I was fine, but sometimes it gets overwhelming. Being around people. Being touched."

Good days are gonna come along
Hold on, hold on!
Hold on, hold on!
