I'm glad you liked my idea and I LOVE YOUR BRAIN! I'm mizixy on AO3, I don't have tumblr so I'm stuck on anon (I'm also the Sense8 crossover anon). For more food for thought, what are Laura and Allison's mental states? All the trauma they underwent. Laura has been gone for so long, but where was she? Was she at peace with her family or fighting in Purgatory? Does Allison fingers tremble every time she picks up a knife, feeling the echo of the Oni's blade in her gut?
And ooh Iām definitely with you on that. They would both be going through some intense trauma recovery post-resurrection. Even if they couldnāt remember their time in the afterlife, the memories of their own deaths would trigger a lot of emotional issues. Will they be able to sleep without dreaming of being torn open? Will they be able to fight without the memories paralyzing them? Will they be able to kill if necessary, after knowing what it feels like to die?
Not to mention simply readjusting to being aliveĀ again, and learning about everything thatās happened in the interim. Derek would probably be older than Laura by this point. Every paper and document and person sheās ever known would say sheās long dead. And sheād have to deal with Peterās betrayal, with Cora being alive, with learning about everything her siblings have been through while she was gone.
Allison died in the arms of her first love, and will come back to find that heās officially moved on, and not to mention how her newer love interest fled to France after her death. She and Chris would have to learn to navigate each other again when probably every instinct Chris has would be screaming for him to lock her away in a protected space forever so he wonāt lose her a second itme.
They would definitely have more to deal with than outside threats.
