Back to life? Back to life? Asch stared at Guy, expression outraged for a moment before it faded slowly into disturbed surprise. He took one step back, then another, turning slowly so he didn't have to look at Guy again. He'd known he was dying - it had become something he'd learned to live with on a daily basis back on Auldrant - but to hear it confirmed? Guy was from his future... and he was dead.
He closed his eyes, reaching out to steady himself against the wall. "Dead," he muttered, lips curving into a frustrated scowl. "How? Was it the contamination? Or was it something else?"
Had he just... faded away? He couldn't stand the thought of such a pathetic death.
