[deimos]

There were many who passed, but select few who offered directions at the area they stood in, or even stopped to stare. That came down to a select few- namely the first. Michael. Michael, Michael. That name, they new, bitterness bursting on their tongue and a choking fear in their throat. The spirit recoiled, ears flattening against their head and fur standing up on end, eyes stretching white, pale breathes curling from their muzzle.

He was different, but the same. Same as what? What are you looking for? It was a bitter tinge in their soul, varying their color for a long moment, before their fur started to lay flat. Nothing. Just as quickly as it came, it was gone. They opened their mouth, as if to speak, but their voice was restricted. Like bubbles of air in water, the sound stopped before it ever reached his ears. It was a desperate cry to reveal that they existed, that yes, someone was here, someone..

Were they even someone? They had no name, no identity, gender, thoughts but the ones they had been gifted with. Their mind had run asunder from the assault of the Abyss, causing some general confusion. Their eyes lowered, swept aside as they realized it was a fruitless plight. Michael may never hear them. It was still a strange notion, knowing his name. Why did they know??

Keona, however, could see them. The spirit felt as if that much was true, their eyes shifting towards them. There was a hesitation here- they knew them, but not as well. They opened their mouth, and struggled to make words, to form them. "A.. Ah.." It sounded as if someone was struggling with breathing, drowning in their own lungs. "Ali... ve." The spirit recoiled at that, shrinking to a point it looked as if they might disappear in their own fur.

"SPEECH"
