It's really funny that I was the person who taught you what bigender was years before I even realized I was bigender and that it was in this interaction!
Almost four years later, Ene stepped into the Physical Realm. Alive.
He'd learned a lot while dead. (Not dead, they told him, but it felt close enough in his opinion.) How to control the powers he'd never known he had. Who it was that had sent Salad, one of his dearest friends, to kill him, and why. They didn't know why Salad had agreed. Had...any of it ever been real?
Another thing he'd learned was how to absorb betrayal and keep moving.
He sat, now, in Salad's apartment, waiting for them to get home from their latest hit. He kept most of his emotions off his face. He felt a lot about this, but now was a time to look serious. Not to let Salad get the jump on him again. And when the front door opened, he was ready.
"Hello, Salad," Ene said. "We need to talk about the Paradox People."
