Jade's mind raced as she tried to process what was happening. "I... I see... does this mean I have died?" she asked, her voice small and uncertain.
The skeleton, now towering dozens of feet above her glowing soul, leaned in closer, its massive form casting a shadow even in this strange realm. "Well, it means your soul has been kicked out of your body," it explained with a dismissive wave of its bony hand. "But that happens in near-death situations. Usually, the person isn't even aware of it."
Jade felt a rush of relief mixed with confusion. "So... I'm not dead?"
"Well, let me take a look," the skeleton mused, its hollow eyes examining Jade's glowing form with unsettling curiosity.
Jade's soul hovered there, her thoughts racing as she tried to make sense of her strange new existence. How can I even see? I don't even have eyes... This is so weird... I wonder if Ty felt this at some point.
