Kouta goes first, and apart from the change in what he's wearing and his hair, he doesn't seem to suffer any ill effects from it.

So I step through after him, then stop short.

I look at Emi.

I look back at -

"Jin-san," I manage eventually. I'm hot and cold all over. Surprise, shock, happiness, worry, all topped off with a large helping of completely bewildered.

The last time I saw him like this, he was explaining how he was going to die, and then the last time I saw him in suit, he was... disappearing. I know he died. How is he back? Is this a backup? Another avatar wearing Jin-san's physical descriptors?

...I'm next to him, suddenly, and I think I want to hug him, but then I turn back again to take an anxious look at Emi.
