Michelle was walking in complete darkness. She kept one hand over her mouth to keep herself from breathing in the toxic clouds that blackened her vision. Another hand was kept out ahead of her, although it was doing her little good being unable to see it. Upon entering the cloud mass, the ground had become soft and moist. With each step she took, it became softer and softer to the point where it felt like she was walking on a thin layer of mud. The noxious smells of death and decay swirled through Michelle's nostrils. Having worked on her father's cattle farm as a kid, she'd grown resilient to unpleasant aromas, but this was pushing her just shy of dry-reaching. But most disturbing of all, was the silence amongst the darkness. Jun's sobbing, which threatened to shatter her eardrums at one point was now non-existent. There was nothing, not even a faint whisper of a breeze. She couldn't have been walking for more than a minute, yet it already felt like an eternity. Just as the onset of hopelessness was beginning to take hold, the hand Michelle had stretched out came into view. With this new sign of progress, Michelle had quickened her pace. The clouds became thinner with each step until she walked into a clearing, revealing the horror of the world she stepped in.
It was not mud that Michelle was walking in, but a sickly purple substance that seemed stretch endlessly into the horizon, littered with flowers and lily pads browned and decayed. Giant floating rocks sporting dead trees spewed forth even more ichor from openings in their centres. Above her, streaks of green, yellow and purple cut through the pitch black clouds, now static in contrast to the violent kaleidoscope they displayed on the outside. Michelle had literally walked into her nightmare, yet she could see now that the nightmares were never hers, but rather glimpses into Jun's personal hell. She looked behind her to find that the clouds she had walked through had disappeared, leaving even more of the corrupted landscape in their wake. Michelle was well past the point of no return now. With a deep breath, she marched forward, noticing something that looked out of place even here. But then her strides stopped when she got close enough to see exactly what it was. After almost 20 years, Michelle finally laid eyes on Jun Kazama once more.
With her back to Michelle, Jun was curled up in a foetal position, her face buried in her knees. The ichor they were surrounded by had covered her up to her chest, forming itself into a shape of a corset over her body. Her skin was pale, and on her right arm, she bore a tattoo of an image Michelle had seen all too often-the insignia of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Michelle was unsure what this meant exactly, and at this point, didn't care. She was so close now.
"Jun." Michelle called out softly, taking another step closer.
"Jun…" A demonic echo accompanied her voice as she repeated her name. "I can't remember…. The last time I heard that name…"
"There are things I have to tell you, Jun." Michelle's voice was shaky. She hadn't considered exactly how she was going to deliver her message. "Things that I should've told you a long time ago."
"Your voice….." Jun rose to her feet, as if she were being dragged up by an unseen force. "I remember….. your voice…"
The devil gene had somehow fractured Jun's memories, or at least sealed most of them away. That the memories of Michelle were one of the few Jun managed to retain looked to be a positive sign. Until Jun turned around to face her, revealing her eyes, burning golden with hatred.
"Your voice….." A snarl slowly formed on her blackened lips. "It brings me sadness… and regret… and pain."
"Why do you wish to cause me more pain?! Have I not suffered enough?!"
Michelle didn't even have time to contemplate Jun's demeanour. She quickly rolled right to avoid being impaled from an angled spike that shot out from the ichor. She barely had time to comprehend what just happened before being forced to avoid a second spike. Covered in ichor, Michelle remained crouched as she observed Jun. The power the devil seemed to be drawing from her was beyond immense. There was no way Michelle could succeed if she tried to fight her. She hadn't come here to fight, but with Jun seemingly intent on taking her life, what other choice was there? She launched into a charge, bearing down on Jun on at full speed. The onslaught of pillars and spikes Jun summoned was relentless, and Michelle's momentum was reduced to a crawl through being forced to dodge an endless barrage of Jun's otherworldly attacks. But even at a crawl's pace, and despite fatigue making her movements more and more sluggish, Michelle was still closing the distance between them. But then Jun changed tactics. Michelle didn't see it coming, the skull of a dog, with an eerie white aura surrounding it. The projectile hurtled directly at her, far faster than the pillars and spikes before it, striking her directly in the chest. The impact threw her hard on her back, and before she could get back to her feet, several sets of skeletal hands rose from the ichor to grip at Michelle's wrists and ankles. Finally a set of arms threw themselves around her waist, before slowly working to drag Michelle into their depths. Despite her fierce squirming, her bounds were winning the struggle, yet Michelle refused to let up, not even allowing a single thought of despair to enter her mind. If her fate was to drown within this hellish place, she would allow it after her confession to Jun, and not a second sooner. She managed to tilt her head down, half expecting Jun to be relishing her kill with a sadistic grin. Yet, Michelle found her hunched over, gripping her head in agony.
"No! This one must also drown! She who would dare bring the light of the past into this world!" Jun raved to herself like a madman.
Light… Past…. Michelle heard Jun-the real Jun somewhere in those words. The devil within her had to exert its power from keeping Jun from breaking through to the surface. But even despite the lapse of strength in the hands dragging Michelle below the ichor, she still couldn't break their grip. Suddenly, the turquoise jewel in her pendant began to glow bright. For a brief moment, Michelle's mahogany eyes flickered with the same colour. With an almighty roar, Michelle yanked her arms free, causing the skeletal hands to break off and lose their form. The arms and hands that had bound her waist and ankles were helpless to prevent Michelle from pulling herself to her feet. Once more she stood, this time, a gentle turquoise aura enveloped her. Without a word, she resumed her march towards Jun.
"Stay back!"
Jun launched another barrage of pillars and spikes at Michelle. This time, her momentum was impossible to break. Enhanced by the pendant, desperate rolls and dodges became graceful sidesteps, fast enough to leave turquoise afterimages in their wake. Desperate to keep Michelle away, Jun summoned a massive wall of spikes between them. Undeterred, she leapt into the air, easily clearing Jun's last obstacle. Michelle was close enough to see Jun's pupils shrunk with fear, as she blocked a hard left kick with her shoulder and forearm. She wasn't quick enough for Jun's next attack. Fingers first, Jun violently thrust her hand right into Michelle's chest. The force of the blow punched right through, leaving Jun's fingers protruding out of her back. With a desperate gasp for air, Michelle was expecting unbearable pain, but instead felt her body go numb. The two of them stood frozen in motion, as the aura that surrounded Michelle faded from existence. With her strength rapidly fading, Michelle slowly reached her hand up to stroke Jun's face. Even with the kill all but achieved the look on her face resembled fear, and not satisfaction. With a shaky breath, Jun violently pulled her hand out of Michelle's chest, causing her to lurch back.
"Why…. Why did you have to come? Why can't you leave me be?!" The demonic echo was failing to hold consistency, as Jun shouted at Michelle, sounding scared angry and sad all at the same time.
Then the jewel within Michelle's pendant began to glow with a faint light, causing her to collapse forward into Jun. Although caught by surprise, she didn't struggle, and instead froze when Michelle wrapped her arms around her back.
"Didn't you hear me the first time?" Michelle's voice was weak in Jun's ear. "There are things that I've waited too long to tell you"
"Everything that's happened to you since I watched you leave in Arizona. Kazuya, Ogre, and now this… all of it, is my fault. It's my fault because I didn't have the strength then to say what I'm about to say now."
Michelle pulled back to look Jun directly into her eyes. The strength in her voice refused to adhere to her mortal injury.
"Jun Kazama. I love you!"
The tears from her eyes were flowing as easily as the words were from her mouth.
"I love you as much as I can possibly love someone. Not a day went by when I didn't think about you! And…. I'm sorry! I'm sorry I didn't pull you away from the abyss when I should have. If you forgive me, then please… please come back to me…please….."
Michelle had run out of words. She knew there was nothing else she was capable of doing from here. She couldn't possibly raise a fist to Jun now-devil possessed or not. She buried her face into Jun's shoulder, holding her tighter. She wanted to savour every last moment of her embrace before the worst happened. But to Michelle's surprise, she felt Jun's arms wrap around her back, just as she did all those years ago.
"Michelle…" Jun said gently into her ear.
"I love you too."
…And then the world was lost within a blinding white light….
.

Craig Marduk still found himself squinting, as the light faded from the forest. He ran a recap of the past few events in his head. They watched Michelle jump off the helicopter, then he and Lee Chaolan had to both disembark and hold Julia back from chasing her down(although neither of them were exactly sure of why). Then they watched Michelle disappear into the ominous cloud mass, then the helicopter was forced to ascend without them, then the entire forest lit up, blinding everyone. And now, everything seemed relatively normal. The storm was gone, in fact there were no signs of there ever being a storm in the first place. With his sight re-adjusted, Marduk looked around to check on Julia and Lee. Julia remained slumped on her knees, the way she had after watching Michelle disappear. Marduk remembered her not even trying to shield her eyes. The silver haired playboy however, was straight on his phone…
"Are you still in the air?!... Ah, excellent….. All things considering, I can't really blame you… Yes, I can see it from here. Find somewhere to land in the compound, and we'll meet you there, but be ready to take off immediately. After what we've seen, I wouldn't be surprised if Jin Kazama himself is on his way here."
Not long after Lee disengaged his phone, Marduk saw the Violet Industries helicopter buzz overhead against a star speckled sky. It suddenly occurred to Marduk that this was the first time they'd seen a clear sky ever since arriving in Japan for the tournament. He was about to comment on this, when…
"Mom?" Julia uttered, before launching into a full sprint into the forest.
"Julia! Wait!" Marduk called out, before taking off after her, with Lee Chaolan in tow.
Marduk knew that Julia was fast, he learnt that much from sparring with her, and fighting alongside her. Right now though, trying to keep up with her felt like trying to keep up with The Flash. His size was hindering him here, he heaved and panted as he pushed his body as fast as it would go. Lee wasn't faring much better either, despite wielding a more athletic shape.
"Damn she's fast…" Marduk puffed.
"Just as well she's running straight towards where we need to be." Lee replied.
"Huh?"
He looked ahead to find a large wooden gate guarding a clearing in the forest. Julia's already blindingly fast pace only quickened as she closed the gap between her and the gate. It looked solid enough to stop a Humvee at full charge in its tracks. Yet Julia's already impressive strength was quadrupled in her hysterical state. With her shoulder, she battered through the door, causing it to shatter completely. Finally, Marduk and Lee passed through the space where the gate once stood. They frantically scanned the compound for Julia. He looked to his left to find Julia ram down the entrance to the main castle.
"You go find your ride. And don't even think about leaving without us!"
"Count on it." Lee replied, giving a thumbs up before they parted ways.
Fully focused on finding Julia, Marduk gave no thought on the chances of Lee making good on his promise, as he headed into the castle. It was quite obvious that no one had been in here for a while. Aside for the outside light shining in from the entrance, the interior of the castle was completely enshrouded in darkness. Without any light to guide him, his pace slowed to a stagger, as he wandered about the corridors practically blind. Slowly, his eyes adjusted, and he was able to make out shapes amongst the dark. As his sense of depth returned to him, he heard heavy footsteps in quick succession above him, followed by Julia's voice calling out to her mother. Turning left around the next corridor, Marduk found a set of stairs. He figured that if he kept on finding stairs he'd run into Julia eventually, assuming she was headed to the top of the castle, although in her current state of mind, he was sure that she had no idea where she was going. He followed Julia up seven floors, using her footsteps overhead to navigate the castle's many corridors. By the eighth floor, he found himself in a throne room, or a viewing platform of sorts. The night sky was able to project its dim light through its open spaces, revealing a vast array of fans, curtains and banners plastered on the walls. Their normally vibrant colours were dulled by the lack of sunlight. In the middle of the room, Marduk found Julia. Teary eyed and exhausted, she'd collapsed on her knees, clutching the chain of her pendant Michelle took from her before disappearing.
"Why….. why did you stop me?" Julia could barely string her sentence together between her tears.
"Julia…"
"You BASTARD!" She suddenly turned around and started feebly wailing on him in hysterics. "She wouldn't have gone if you didn't hold me back! Mom would still be here, Mom would…"
Marduk said nothing, and gently placed a hand over Julia's shoulder. Her thrashing about faltered on his touch, immediately causing her to hug the large man tightly, unleashing a flood of tears into his chest. He'd never be able to explain how or why, but Marduk was sure that if Michelle didn't do what she did, none of them would be standing here right now. Looking down at her daughter balling away in his arms, he gave alittle more of his thoughts to the woman. He'd only met her a few days ago, almost a full six months after he started officially dating Julia. If he didn't know better he would've easy mistaken Michelle to be Julia's sister, or best friend, not her mother. He was smart enough to not say it openly, and it was just as well he didn't. Michelle didn't warm to him, and Marduk couldn't really blame her for not doing so. On the surface, he and Julia were the world's worst mismatch, and he had no doubt that any mother wouldn't be happy with a smart girl like Julia dating a brickhead like him. But with her last words, she entrusted her daughter's wellbeing to him. Marduk was unsure whether Michelle somehow saw beyond his exterior, or simply accepted Julia's choice. Either way didn't matter to him. A long as Julia allowed him to, he would make sure he didn't betray Michelle's trust. His thoughts were broken by Julia's cellphone ringing in her skirt pocket. She'd all but cried herself to sleep in his chest. Being in no position to take the call herself, Marduk carefully plucked the phone out, to answer Lee Chaolan's call.
"Yo…. Yeah, I got her…. We're on our way now."
Marduk carefully scooped Julia up in his arms, before navigating his way out of the castle, and into a courtyard where Lee's helicopter awaited them. Before boarding, Marduk looked over his shoulder at the stars. Somewhere above the cluster, two stars next to each other glittered brighter than the rest. Before tonight, he would've scoffed at the idea of spirits and souls and the like. But the things he'd witnessed left him re-educated. The side panels closed up behind him, and Lee's heli left the estate to return to civilisation…

Michelle felt like she was slowly waking from a really long dream. Looking straight up at the sky, a pastel mixture of baby blue and lavender, Michelle couldn't remember the last time the sky looked so… beautiful. The weightless feeling of floating on water matched the feeling in her chest, as though someone had removed some massive weight from her shoulders. Michelle hadn't even given a thought over whether or not her actions saved the world. In her heart, she knew she had succeeded somehow. She slowly brushed her hand over the wound Jun inflicted on her-to find that it wasn't there. The pendant was also gone too, no doubt having found its way back to Julia by now. Despite her relaxed state of mind, she wondered where Jun had gone to. More to the point, where had she gone to? Michelle willed herself to sit upright to get a better feel for her surroundings. Her eyes widened at what she saw.
She discovered that the floating feeling she was experiencing earlier wasn't just a feeling. She was surrounded by an endless expanse of water, more pure than anything she'd seen before, and reflecting light from an unseen sun. It looked as though the water supported her weight, yet Michelle dared not think of how deep it was, in case the thought caused her to sink to its infinite depths. The lily pads and flowers, once decayed and rotten, now bloomed in vibrant pinks and greens. The trees that topped the floating rocks had sprouted deep purple leaves, and more pure water flowed freely from their openings where the sickly purple ichor once spewed from. As a flock of white doves flew a sortie across the sky, Michelle realised she'd never left the realm she walked into. In place of the hell that once surrounded her, a polarising paradise now flourished.
The thought of Jun's whereabouts caused Michelle to stand up. She surveyed the heavenly landscape, looking for any signs of Jun's presence. Finally, sprawled out on her back amongst the lily pads, Michelle found her. A white garment had replaced the purple liquid corset she once wore. From the neck, it started as a halter top, and ended in full length flowing pants, featuring a flock of black birds on the left leg. Around her shoulders, she wore a large navy scarf, although Michelle seemed convinced that it looked more like a jacket. But most importantly, a healthy colour had returned to her once pale skin and blackened lips. What lay before Michelle was Jun exactly how she remembered her, and not a twisted perversion courtesy of the devil gene. Michelle quickly ran to her side and dropped to her knees, hovering just above her.
"Jun?... Jun?!" Michelle called out.
Michelle gulped down a breath as Jun slowly stirred to life. Her scary movie logic told her that in a matter of moments, she'd be looking into hate filled golden orbs, before being swallowed into the nightmare she escaped from in the blink of an eye. Her fears became unfounded when loving chestnut eyes starred straight back at her, accompanied by a soft smile. Michelle smiled back full of joy. Her Jun had returned.
"Jun! It's you! Really you! I-"
Michelle was interrupted by a slender digit placed gently on her lips. Slowly, Jun traced her index finger to Michelle's cheek, where it was joined by her other three fingers and her thumb, and finally replaced by the palm of her hand. Michelle knew what Jun wanted when she parted her lips ever so slightly. This moment had only existed with the confines of Michelle's imagination and dreams in the past. But now all the walls between them were torn down, and they were well and truly out of reach from anyone that would judge them poorly. There was nothing stopping them from doing this. Michelle lowered her head…
True to her form, Jun's kiss was delicate and graceful, foregoing any hungry desperation when she captured Michelle's lips. All of Jun's movements were sensual, from the soft brushing of her fingernails against Michelle's cheek, to the delicate swishes of her tongue inside her mouth, to the way she ran the pad of her thumb over the plats of Michelle's braided tail in her other hand. Instinctively, Michelle placed her hands on her lover's shoulders as she went about her craft. Every nerve in her body tingled as her memories of kisses she shared with other people melted from her mind. No, Michelle was now convinced that anybody who'd tried to kiss her before this ended up simply pashing and mauling her. Jun was the first person to kiss her, and there would be no others after her. Eventually, Michelle had to break off from Jun's lips. It seemed that even in this realm of impossibilities, breathing was still a necessity.
"You know, I still remember what you said to me in Arizona. That we'd see each other again…." Michelle spoke, as her breathing returned to normal.
"…No matter what." Jun finished her sentence.
Michelle slowly sat back up, with Jun doing likewise. She rested the side of her head upon Michelle's shoulder, before linking her arm around Michelle's. With her other hand, Jun took Michelle's hand, and guided it to rest on her thigh, holding it in place. As content as Michelle was to just bask in the closeness of her lover, there was so much she wanted to ask Jun.
"What happened to you?"
"I died…." There was a slight sadness in Jun's tone, as she gazed off into the horizon.
"Ogre killed me. Destroyed me utterly. Didn't even leave Jin my body for closure. But my spirit lingered on. I was aware of everything happening around me. All the bloodshed I had to bear witness to, and the regret in my heart caused my willpower to waver against the curse Kazuya forced upon me."
"What do you mean by 'regret'?"
"Michelle, during the time we spent together at your home, I also grew to love you." Jun was straight to the point in her confession. "But I was too scared to act on it, and too blinded by my insistence on saving Kazuya's soul back then. After I died, I looked into your heart, and found that you felt the same way for me."
"Oh Jun…." After hearing this from Jun, Michelle didn't know whether to feel better knowing that Jun also kept similar feelings for her, or worse for not being brave for Jun when she needed her to.
"In some ways, knowing that you kept these feelings preserved for me gave me the strength to hold out a while longer." Jun reconciled, as if she could sense Michelle's guilt. "Watching you raise Julia also helped."
As heartwarming as Jun's words were, a wash of nervousness overcame Michelle, as thoughts of what else Jun bore witness to entered her mind. The 20 years they were apart from each over were not used to play crazy cat lady on Michelle's end. And after hearing Jun's confession, she couldn't help but feel like even more of an ass. Jun seemed to have picked up a sense of clairvoyance in the afterlife however. The moment Michelle thought of apologising, she softly planted her lips on her cheek as if to say 'don't even think about it' before resting her head back on Michelle's shoulder.
"At least for a while, it did." Jun continued. "But the moment I saw Jin's heart give into the temptation of power, the curse had overcome my soul."
"If you didn't come to pull me back when you did…." Jun raised her head up to look at Michelle. "The devil gene would have continued to bleed out to consume the world in despair. So, thank you for stopping me."
"You were calling out to me, I think." Michelle turned to lock eyes with Jun. "It just, took me a while to hear you, is all."
"I'm glad you came for me, but…" Jun's eyes had suddenly filled with concern.
"But what?"
"Well you being here right now. You know what it means for you, right?"
"I do."
"And you're OK with it?"
"I am." Michelle declared her acceptance of her place in the afterlife, as she turned her sight towards one of the floating rocks in the distance. "With my death, I saved your soul, Julia's life and the rest of the world. I'm content just knowing that."
"I'll miss her though." Michelle lowered her head at the thought of leaving her daughter behind.
"You won't be far from her." Jun replied. "Watch….."
Jun detached herself from Michelle's arm before leaning across her. She placed a finger in the water began to twirl it about slowly. Michelle became entranced as an image began to form within the boundary of the pool Jun created. Amongst the ripples, she saw Julia. She had fallen asleep in one of the seats in Lee Chaolan's helicopter, with her head rested on Marduk's shoulder. Her face was naturally streaked from the tears she cried over the sudden loss of her mother. As she continued to study the image, Michelle became aware of the exact feelings within her daughter's heart. She saw the extent of Julia's grief. She was confused and angry-and rightfully so. The way in which they parted would have the same effect on anyone with a human conscience. But such was the inevitability of life and death-they would have parted ways like this sooner or later. For the spiritually aware like Michelle and Julia, the thought didn't terrify, as their understanding of death was that of a new beginning, and not of finality. Michelle knew from experience that right now, Julia's grief clouded mind wouldn't see it that way, but she would eventually come to terms with it again. In the meantime, she was grateful that Julia had a strong and faithful man at her back to rely on.
"You'll be able to watch over her from here." Jun said, looking affectionately up at Michelle, before comfortably settling into her former position on Michelle's arm. "And when her time comes, you'll be reunited once more."
"I have a lot of explaining to do to her." Michelle sighed, resting her cheek against the top of Jun's head. "Hey Jun?"
"Hm?"
"When I see Julia again, will you…. be there with me?" Michelle's question caused Jun to raise her head up once more.
"Are you sure that would be right?" Jun hesitantly asked back.
"I think she'd understand a lot better if you two were to meet." Michelle re-assured.
"Then I'll do it." Jun said, not taking her eyes off Michelle. "But only if you'll be at my side when Jin crosses over."
Michelle didn't answer Jun back, as she rummaged through her head to look for the least offensive reply. The media reports on Jin's character and actions were already damning enough. From her personal experience with the Mishimas, Michelle felt that the media only covered the tip of the iceberg. Yet the few words Jun spoke about him suggested that he something else other than the son of Kazuya Mishima in mind, body and soul. Now more questions swam about in Michelle's head. What sort of person was Jin before his rise to power? Exactly what made him fold to temptation and why? Michelle didn't wonder why she was so forgiving of it all though. Jun was just that kind of person, willing to dig through all hell's worth of evil to find a slither of good in a person-no matter what the personal cost was.
"I know what you're thinking." Jun spoke, being completely aware of her lover's doubts about her son. "Jin's ideals are still pure, but the world has caused him to lose his way, I can see that properly now."
"I'm not worried though." Jun shifted her position into a light hug at Michelle's side around her waist. "I know that she'll bring him back."
"His bodyguard?" Michelle asked sheepishly, thinking of the blonde woman often spotted at Jin's side in photographs and videos.
"No. Not her." Jun frowned, in a way that suggested she found the blonde woman repulsive. "Someone who appeals to Jin's better nature, and unlike his father, he'll listen to her when he's ready."
"I see…"
"You don't sound all that convinced, but that's fine. You'll see it soon enough." Jun said, as she slightly softened her embrace over Michelle. "There are other things I can show you here in the meantime."
"Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that." Michelle replied, happy with the positive turn the conversation took. "This place we're in right now. As pretty as it is, there's gotta be more to it than just this garden, right?"
"Oh, there is. There's much, much more….." Jun's voice almost quietening to a whisper, as she seductively brushed her lips against the top of Michelle's neck.
Earning a light gasp from her lover, subtle brushes became full kisses as Jun worked over the small space that wasn't covered by the strange zebra striped garment that Michelle wore over her neck and arms(an inconvenience Jun would remove soon enough). She gently lowered Michelle onto her back, before hovering over her, their breasts lightly pressed against one another.
"But we have an eternity for all of that. There's no rush." Jun spoke, leaving Michelle's neck to lock eyes with her.
Michelle's nerves lit up in anticipation as she wrapped her arms around Jun's back. Their eyes never left each other, projecting every emotion they were feeling while Jun slowly ran her hand up Michelle's side, finishing with the palm of her hand resting lightly on Michelle's breast.
"You've just come back to me. We should reacquaint properly first." Were Jun's words before taking Michelle's lips again, the beginning of the first of many acts of intimacy they would share together. Here in this realm beyond time, space and possibility, built on the foundations of their everlasting love.
...And, done. As I said before, this fic is heavily influenced by TheNewBrawler's Michelle/Jun fic, only I wanted to make the femslash alittle more blatant for the sake of fanservice, rather than merely imply it. The biggest thing for me was Jun's portrayal both in this fic, and the game itself. Despite being a full character, for me Jun's presence is that of a ghost. When you fight her in arcade mode, you fight in what I can only describe as the physical embodiement of her imagination. And the only time you ever see her outside this state, is if she's in someone's dream(poor Lars). I wanted portray this idea in my fic. The idea of her being physically dead, yet her spiritual presence still existing.
