[ It's been two weeks since she's woken up in the Complex, the effects of her cryostasis wearing off, finally. The effects of her death and resurging, that's another story. Her throat and lungs aren't feeling so raw but the latter still feels rough. At least she no longer feels like she's going to choke with each breath she takes. And the hacking up blood has stopped. On the other hand, the nightmares of the exact moment don't come as often but they're there.

They're always there. ]

I was always under the impression that when you died, you stayed dead. There were no second chances. Maybe I haven't come to terms with it. I've come close to death's door too often but never like that.

Has anyone ever...?

[ If anyone here has died and returned, wouldn't asking bring back unpleasant memories? Elena's aware of that, unfortunately there's only been one other person whom she's been able to talk to who can relate.

This isn't something she can talk to Nate about because of how sensitive a topic it is between them still, and that's why she's locked the post from him. She needs to know if there are others.

Plus there's just one more thing... ]

My wedding ring also seems to be missing... It's plain silver and has an engraving on the inside. It's been missing since I woke up in the Complex.

If it's shown up anywhere then please, I'd appreciate a heads up.


( ooc; the ring is gone forever, and although the post is locked from older!nate, it's still free game for anyone who knows him to bring up the post/topic/any conversation to him. c: )

[ Adrien's thoughts were a little more ... esoteric, on the subject of what you gave up when you died and came back.

But he kept them to himself. ]

From what I know from the files of people who had similar experiences, recovery time can vary and that could be linked to 'price'.

Have you followed up with a doctor since you were released from the Complex?

[tearsinajar]

I know I should. But I can't bring myself to go back there yet.

[prorenataa]

Do you want to come to the clinic? I have the diagnostic equipment from the Moira and it is all comparable to what is up at the complex.

[tearsinajar]

Your location?

[prorenataa]

Yes. The clinic attached to my house.

[tearsinajar]

That would work better. If you won't mind the company.

[prorenataa]

I wouldn't have offered, if I minded, Elena.

[tearsinajar]

I know. I'm sorry. I just wasn't sure after everything.

[ There was a pause, a long pause as Adrien struggled with everything he wanted to say. To address in regards to the chasm that now lay between them.

But for everything he wanted to say, he argued against it until he came to the familiar stand still.

Eventually he responded, direct and to the point. ]

Don't worry about it. Come by as soon as you can and I'll take a look.
