Sierra nodded.

"It is perfectly all right, Jake." She said.

"I will just head home, and call Sharp." She told him.

"As he does need to know." She paused a moment before sighing lightly.

"For the record, Jake... I am Sierra. The differences you are detecting are because I am alive." With that, she vanished in a burst of mana - something that he wasn't even aware of Sierra having in life.

Jake was silent as he saw her disappear.

"I..." he stammered.

"Wait, what?" he muttered, scratching his head slightly.

Meanwhile, someone was in a house, waiting for someone.

"...hope she gets back soon." he said.

"....hope everything went all right, too." he continued.

That's when he felt the mana presence in the house... one that was unfamiliar to him.

"What the!?" he exclaimed, immediately on high alert.

"Theo!" Sierra called with a light sigh as she made her way to the stairs.

"I'm hopping in the shower! Feel free to join me!" She called, which was definitely NOT what he would have ever expected from her.

She made her way to what was in essence the bedroom they shared - not that either had need for one - and grabbed a change of clothes before heading to the bathroom.

"........." Theo was silent as he heard all that.

"I.... what...?" he mumbled.

He then slowly made his way to the bathroom, and poked his head in.

"...Sierra?" he asked.

"Is... is everything okay?" he asked further.

"Why the sudden... well... urge to shower?"

"Because I'm covered in dirt." Sierra answered from beyond the shower divider. She was ... rather audible over the running water, as well.

It was definitely something new.

"I know you can take on a physical form, if you want to join me, feel free." She added with a light laugh.

"Otherwise, I'll see you downstairs after I'm clean and the like."

"........" again, Theo was silent, before sighing.

"I mean, I... won't say no..." he said.

He then stepped forward and poked his head in.

And he froze when he saw what he did.

"Wh... what the!?" he exclaimed.

"Sierra!?" he asked.

"What happened!?"

"Long story short, there's a Lazarus Pit in the city, and I fell in." Sierra answered as she met h is gaze.

"Meaning... yeah. I am properly alive." She said. ". . . You do believe that I am me, right?"

"I... really would not argue with you if you find it hard to beleieve."

"....no, no." Theo said.

"I can tell it's you." he told her.

"Your soul doesn't lie." he continued.

"I know it's you." he assured her.

"......so. You're alive, huh? Properly?" he asked.

"Heh. Good for you." he said, a bit of a sad smile on his face.

"As far as I can tell, yeah. Properly." Sierra agreed with a nod before dunking her head under the water.

"You sound the most unenthused by it, though." She commented. ". . . Is there anything that I can do to help? Whatever the issue may be..." She then added.

"Do you wish to have life again, yourself?"

"I... I don't know." Theo admitted.

"I can't even remember who I was in life." he admitted.

"But at least YOU have a body now. A life again." he told her.

"What are you going to do with it?" he asked.

"And should I start looking for somewhere else to live?" he asked further.

"I mean... wouldn't it be awkward for a ghost and a mortal to share a place?"

Sierra just laughed.

"Theo, you are more than welcome to stay here." She told him.

". . . assuming my boss lets me stay here after I offer my resignation, that is." She added with a light sigh as she lathered her hair up.

"You are more than welcome to stay with me. I... would actually rather not lose you, to be honest."

"....well, that's a relie-" Theo started to say, before abruptly pausing.

"Wait, what!?" he asked.

"Resignation!?" he exclaimed.

"But... b-but why?" he asked her.

"You love the Unit." he said.

"Why would you leave it?" he asked her further.

Sierra just sighed.

"My thoughts on the Unit... really do not matter." She commented.

"I was hired due to my crowd control capabilities, being a banshee." she continued before pausing, holding a finger up, and rinsing her hair.

"I... no longer have any of the sort to offer any longer." She told him simply, before sighing.

"So after we are done in here, I am going to call him and arrange a meeting, as I just... lack any reason to remain on the payroll there." She gave her hair one last quick rinse before looking at him quizzically.

"Want the water?"

"......................." Theo was just stunned silent for a moment.

"I... ah..." he stammered.

"Sure. I guess." he said.

"...it hurts that the Unit is going to just let you go like this." he went on.

"I was under the impression that they cared." he continued.

"And here you are, essentially fired, for being different now." he lamented.

"Life is not fair."

Sierra just sighed.

"Yeah... I know." She agreed as she moved and swapped places with him.

"I know. But all I can do is just... live with this, I suppose." She then said.

"I would say just kill me, return me to the state I was in before, but I do not know if that would even work." She then commented.

"For all I know, it would not go well, and I would end up ... well... gone."

"....yeah." Theo mumbled.

"And... quite frankly, I wouldn't be able to deal with that." he told her.

"My life without you in it? No. Just... no." he went on.

"I hope things work out for you." he then said further.

"Even if the Unit and everyone in there turns their back on you, you still have me." he continued.

"...for whatever that's worth."

"And trust me, that is worth a lot." Sierra said with a soft smile. before sighing.

"I will admit though, I am missing a couple of years.' She added. "I mean, obviously I know who you are, and I was not surprised that you would be here."

"... You will need to fill me in on some details, though. Like... where our relationship officially stands..." she trailed off slightly before sighing and meeting his gaze, letting him see the blue grey eyes, along with the white and strawberry streaked hair - that was still just as stupidly long as he remembered,

"........" Theo was silent as Sierra said what she did, before sighing.

"I... I see." he said.

"Well... uh... I mean..." he stammered, shaking his head a little.

"Officially?" he asked.

"That... is a good question." he admitted.

"I mean, we... well... we used to... uh... well..." he then stammered, before sighing again.

"We agreed to try to be boyfriend and girlfriend, and it was going well for... well... almost two years."

Sierra just laughed lightly.

"That really does not surprise me." She commented.

"But! I need to call Sharp." She then said.

"I am going to step out and get that ball rolling. How about we talk about all of what I am missing after that? Make sure I am up to date on everything." She paused a moment, seming to be thinking about it all, before sighing.

"Of course... we shall see what Sharp says about this. While we are packing if we need to move, we can talk and make sure everything is all right." She paused, again.

"If that works for you?"

"Yeah." Theo replied.

"Just... well... good luck." he then said.

"I... hope things go well for you." he continued, sighing quietly.

"....as well as can be expected, I guess." he mumbled further.

"Oh, I don't know." he admitted.

"Just... yeah, good luck in quitting your job." he summarised.
