El knows that searching as she does now, with the static and water, is different from when she did for Papa.

She searches for herself now, herself and her friends.

But the numbness is still the same. The lack of feeling in her body, as she floats away in the dark-

The same as before.

She searches.

She looks.

Henry, Vecna, may be gone for now. But the holes he tore between the Upside Down and Hawkins leak more and more every day.

Monsters creep through. Monsters like the Demogorgon.

There's a monster right now, even, leaving dead dear all over the forest. She has to find it, so they can hunt it.

And find she does, eventually. In the snow, in the dark trees, is a long-limbed pale creature. One with a face. A human-like face, though furred.

Where the Demogorgon is not, and never was, human, this creature was. El can see it in its face, in the bareness of its exposed body. Human once, but human no longer.

Its head swings towards her, golden eyes gleaming under dark trees. She takes a step back, wary. Things in this in-between can be much more dangerous than outside it.

(As what happened to Max proves.)

It doesn't...speak. But El understands something from it.

notKin-notaKin-human?

"What are you?" El breathes. Readying herself to attack. To fight back.

"She's a Lycan," another voice says. From a girl shorter than El, dressed in red. Dark eyes gleam from under the red hood.

"Who are you?"

El wakes up.

Hm, that is an interesting concept there.

Now, if Eva is alone, she's kind of fucked, sad to say. Because her only big advantage (which really isn't one) is that she can't die.

She still has the strength of the usual ten year old girl, which is very little against super strength demons and slayers.

The odds are decent that she would wander around, try to figure out what to do, and somehow infect someone by accident. That, would then draw Muzen's attention because demon-like infestation that isn't burned to a crisp by sunlight? Yes please!

Of course that would end...poorly. Whether Eva's mold or Muzen's virus would win that match is up to the viewer.

If Eva shows up with Râs, that gives her a boost. Râs is sturdy enough to handle the vast majority of demons and slayers, exceptions being of course the Hashira and Upper Moons. (It's possible she could handle Lower Moons, depending on the number.)

However, Râs still has to eat. And tracking her meat intake from village to village might make it easier for slayers to find them.
