[Ah. He wondered if he would receive some kind of missive granting confirmation that she did, indeed, die. And that she did, indeed, come back to life.]
NONE SAVE THAT I DO NOT REMEMBER MOST OF WHAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO MY DEATH I DO RECALL THROWING THE GLOVE BEING ACCEPTED AND THEN STANDING BEFORE ANOTHER INTENDING TO FIGHT BUT THE DETAILS OF THE FIGHT, AS WELL AS THE FACE OF WHOM I FOUGHT AND THE MOMENT ITSELF, IS LOST HOWEVER THANKFULLY, AS IT WAS DETERMINED PRIOR WHO I WOULD BE FIGHTING FOR SUCH A PURPOSE, I DO KNOW WHO SHROUDED DEATH AROUND ME
[ it's terrible. at least let her remember her five second fight. ]
THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING A MEMORIES IS STILL VERY MUCH IN THE AIR BUT I SUPPOSE THAT SHALL COME WITH TIME, GIVEN I WOULD NOT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN IN THINKING NOR IF I WOULD KNOW IF I WERE MISSING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
Is that so? The details of the fight itself are beyond your recollection? And here I thought memories were to fail someone closer to the point of death.
What of your physical body? No scarring? No phantom pains?
TO THAT I OWE IT WAS A QUICK DEATH A SWIFT FIGHT AND A SOONER ENDED I AM CERTAIN IF IT WERE LONGER, THEN I WOULD HAVE RECALLED MORE AS IT STANDS, HOWEVER, IT WAS NO LONGER THAN THE FIGHTS I HAVE HAD BACK HOME
[ very swift, nothing poetic about it. simply a few blows and then an end. she's used to it; it's her preference. ]
I HAVE NO SCARRING THAT WAS NOT THERE PRIOR NO NOR OF ANY PAINS WHATSOEVER ALL IN ALL, I AM FEELING MORE FINE THAN THE ONE WHOM STRUCK ME DOWN AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE CONSEQUENCES SEEM TO BE MUCH LIGHTER FOR THE VICTIM OF SUCH AN ACT WILLING TO THEIR GRAVE OR NOT
[ ... mmmmmmmmm. too bad he can't feel her sigh, or see her remorseful smile. ]
UNFORTUNATELY, IT WOULD SEEM SO AT THE VERY LEAST, THE FEW WHOM I HAVE SPOKEN WITH CONFIRMED AS SUCH THEY EXPERIENCE NIGHT TERRORS ALIKE TO THE MOMENT I HAVE FORGOTTEN IF I HAD KNOWN IT WOULD BE AS SUCH, I WOULD HAVE ENSURED FURTHER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WITNESS SAVE THE ONE NEEDED
[ not just alike, though. very much the same. but she doesn't wish to say that -- she knows how she died, it sucks that everyone else has to remember it for her. ]
[Well, that's... worrisome, but good to know. Though Weir had Quietly Judged how eagerly willing she was to participate in this whole experiment, he must admit: this is useful information.
If not grating.]
It is as though they are undergoing what, then? Would you call it a punishment for simply viewing a violent action?
[No, maybe not quite. That doesn't make full sense to him.]
[ good that it's useful. her personal satisfaction aside, it's good that it's useful. ]
THE LATTER THOUGH IT WAS MY DESIRE, THE GENERAL "LEGALITY" AS A YOUNG LADY CALLED IT MAY NOT SEE IT THE SAME I DO NOT THINK IT WOULD MATTER IF IT WERE FOR SELF DEFENSE OR PLANNED IN ADVANCE IF IT WERE ONLY A FIGHT, I DO NOT THINK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A PUNISHMENT FOR ANY INVOLVED SAVE, PERHAPS, A HANDCUFFING

Still, one thing is clear: we are policed by this damnable city itself, to the point where punishment might affect our mental faculties.
How wonderful for us. "Good behavior" only, or else.
