After we got back from China, I thought about when Akane woke back up.
She had been dead. I'm sure of it. And she came back.
Something like that had happened to me when I had fought Lime at Horaisan. For a moment, I'm sure I died. I saw my nan and grandpa. And I came back. (And I totally kicked Lime's butt, I'd like to mention.)
I came back because of irritation towards Ranma. Akane, I think, came back because of… "feelings." Towards Ranma.
Is there an "Anything Goes Revive the Recently Dead" special technique I don't know about?
